Shocked the United States in 2001 train out of control events and thinking!

Hollywood has a long tradition of documenting disasters, and many moviegoers are fans of films based on "true events." "Unstoppable" is based on a real case, in May 2001, there was a sensation in the United States driverless train lost control of the event. Although this happened in the US, such a story has become a real life teaching case for the global railway industry to deal with such accidents, and the best teacher is the director of the film!

The American media likes to report disasters exhaustively, usually with endless live coverage. That was a disastrous social event before 9/11. Because of the timely intervention and live coverage of the news media, millions of Americans followed the event at the same time. The train was owned by Class I CSX in Ohio. At the time, the press called it "Crazy 8s" -- Crazy Number 8. This unfortunate child, in 2005, had another accident, to end "life" off the rails.

The director of this film rented a real locomotive and carriage for the filming of Dangerous Speed, so that the 10-ton diesel locomotive and the loaded carriage could present the sense of texture and speed of a giant machine at about 110 kilometers per hour, and used frequently changing camera clips. It is said that the sparks created by the rapid metal collision of the train were all filmed in real time. This film is made of cast iron without CGI.

Not only that, Tony Scott also hired Jesse Knowlton (Washington's Frank Barnes) and Pilot Terry Forson (Chris Payne's Will Colson) as special consultants for the film. As a result, the various aspects of train expertise and detail in the film are very professional and realistic. Knowlton and Forson also contributed some live dialogue as civilian heroes who were there and saved the day.

There are heroes in capitalism, no doubt about it, and what moved the North American audience, and of course the reality of the character design. Frank received a letter offering him early retirement and half his pension, a form of capitalist bullying for the lowest rung of the professional class. A railroad engineer with 28 years of service could earn as much as $100,000 a year, which would be a huge cost to the company if Frank were to serve until his retirement age of 65 and receive a full pension based on a pension of about 80 percent. So the company prevents him from completing his years of service. If he chooses not to accept the company's early retirement offer, the next round of lay-offs awaits him. At that time, he has no choice, and the severance package (no longer pension) may be only six months to a year's annual salary.

At the same time, capitalists cut costs by hiring younger employees to replace older, more expensive workers. But the pitfalls are self-evident. Will was hired with only four months of training. That's why, at the beginning of the film, a group of older workers collectively reject Will, the young navigator.

Frank and Will, in fact, there is an old man and a young replacement of the cruel reality of the relationship, especially for frank who loves the railway work, and they can in the most critical moment of life and death together, completely from the two people's most simple human nature. They risk being fired and losing their lives. A blue-collar pilot, who has been abandoned by the company, disregards his life with a sense of personal responsibility, which is the simple heroism of the theme of the film.

Yet it is these blue-collar workers who form the greatest social and moral foundation of the American pyramid. In real life, neither of the railroad workers was fired and promoted. In addition, Connie, who was in charge of the command field, was promoted from a station commander to vice president of operations -- replacing the bureaucratic vice president.

You have to admit that the outbreak of individual heroism in the film is precisely the affirmation and existence of conscience and justice in the capitalist framework, so that values like justice and courage will continue to be deeply rooted at the bottom and become the foundation of society. With them, capitalism would be less evil and less corrupt!

In fact, a country is also facing a similar problem, once the emperor a courtier, each new emperor enthronement, because of the need to consolidate the regime, a group of experienced but not loyal to their old guys, replaced by a group of young friends!

This result is actually very terrible: novice will create all kinds of accidents and trouble because of lack of experience, the old also because of discontent and neglect! I can not express too straightforward, everyone fine taste!
