According to Sully himself, they correctly portrayed the actual facts of the incident and the processes that followed.” He was stoic for a young fella, but likable.Ĭlint Eastwood (director) and Tom Hanks (played Sully in the movie), did an incredible job of capturing his personality and professional demeanor. He did very well academically and spent little time goofing off or joking around like most of the rest of us. “He was serious even as a young man and driven to achieve. This is what my father had to say about it: They also sat at the same table for dinner at a reunion after the movie was released so he was lucky enough to get a lot of the details straight from Sully’s mouth.īut yeah, it sounds like they absolutely nailed his personality in the movie. I think most people who go through basic training together develop strong bonds. They were in the same class/squadron at the AFA and pretty good friends. My father recently started documenting his life stories and there’s a little bit in there about Sully. I realize this is an old thread but I figured I’d expand on what you’re saying here. I wouldn't necessarily say Sully was a bad movie but I think it was a wasted opportunity and one you won't regret missing it especially if you're not familiar with the real world event. It has a better plot, better characters, better CGI, and better dialogue. This doesn't necessarily affect the quality of the movie apart from making Sully feel a little weird and artifical.Ĭonclusion, if you want to watch a movie about a plane crash you can’t go wrong with Flight. I think the movie only has two non-white speaking roles and one is a taxi driver □ Meanwhile Flight features a diverse and interesting cast that puts those diverse actors in lead roles. While watching it you get the sensation that you too are stuck on that plane until it hits the ground, one way or another.įinally, Sully has a noticeable lack of any people of colour. Flight's crash scene is all in one piece without any cuts to air traffic control. The movie starts after the crash and concludes halfway through the investigation, all plot advancement happens in flashbacks. Sally's crash scene is split up and retold in many segments throughout the movie and it makes the movie feel stagnant. This is good because it turns out Sully can never be wrong as both the mechanical analysis and simulations got it all wrong. He is incredibly confident in his abilities to the point of disagreeing with the professional analysis of the plane engines. He's a perfectly moral, perfectly paitent, faultless pilot. Captain Sully, the titular chracter, has no flaws. The people he meets along the way have decreasing levels of tolerance for his bullshit until even he can't stomach telling one more lie. The movie starts as an air crash thriller and slowly turns into a story about alcoholism and the effects it has on those around you. He tries to maintain enough coherency to survive the investigation while trying to hold the rest of his life together. Flight shows the captain and others around him struggling with his addiction to alcohol and drugs. It spends the rest of the movie grappling with the fallout of the crash and the drunk pilot potentially responsible. Unfortunately, only one of these movies had a plot and characters.įlight leads off with an visceral extended crash scene which is equal parts exciting and frightening. Both featured an enjoyable amount of airplane technical jargon, NTSB hearings, and cockpit action. Sully came out 4 years later in 2016 and is based on a real plane crash that happened in 2009.īoth of these films were created by legendary directors and starred 2 time Oscar winners. Flight came out first in 2012 and is entierly fictional.
