Sully

Sully

The movie chronicles The Miracle on the Hudson.
Tom Hanks does a stellar job in his everyman persona.
The story is uplifting.
Four stars.

The hard time that the NTSB gave Sully reminded me of this:


“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
