Only The Brave (2018) - Good To Kill Time!
 |
| ★★★☆☆ |
A so-called motivational firefighters story is usually an action
film, where the fires are actually the main character, and the firefighters are
supposed to be underplaying! In ‘Only The Brave’, things are quite the opposite.
The director makes sure that everybody has enough screen time to tell their
backstories. This is a film of more than 2 hours. Conversations take up like
99%! The left 1% is the final firefighting scene that may not seem so
spectacular to some but it certainly gives goose bumps as it might’ve kept you waiting
for long! I prefer melodramas to mindless actions, so I don’t have a problem
with it. If you’re looking for constant actions to feel high, ‘Only The Brave’
is more or less of boredom to be honest!
The film is watchable thanks to its terrific score and sound effects
in particular. It manages to help stir up your emotions a notch, and make the
wildfires sound and look like a real beast. The story is nonetheless, a bit
dragged out, and the conversations a bit tedious sometimes. I guess such a
story might be more enjoyable to be read on the papers than seen on the big
screen, but you know to turn a heavily dialogue-driven script into a decent
drama like this is truly an uneasy task. What I mean decent here is, the film
may not be unforgettable but it’s surely worth a checkout if you have some
extra time to kill on weekend or on plane!
The Supe tells the rookie, ‘we don’t see things as they are. We see them as we are’, which is very true indeed. We therefore have
misinterpretations of the world we live in; of the people we get to see and
deal with every day; of different scenarios we’ve come across; of our own
feelings towards the things we love and hate. We’re the victims of such a
painful truth that we can do nothing about, including the Supe himself who
winds up in a tragedy for what he misinterprets!
The men chisel and saw into the timber martyrs in hopes of establishing a unmovable Line. A miniature trench forms in the loose soil, and brush is doused with liquid fire . The wildfire has reached the checkered flag, and these men will have the best seats on the track.

A man that has surrendered all ambitions of fatherhood, now the great father figure of a rowdy pack of men. > Reviews Only the Brave His wife, Amanda, has signed a contract with him, and together they pursue their respective work with insatiable vigor.
Marsh’s ultimate goal is to become Hot Shot certified. His would be the first municipal crew to achieve this accreditation, and many risks have been made to open the door. His intuition trumps protocol, and his superiors stubbornly acknowledge his genius.
