How to do movies right and Tom is a veteran. Apart from all the good points mentioned here I also noticed the female pilot is not propped to be a femme fatale or a guy beater or a love interest. They don’t make her be an obnoxious girl boss either. She’s just another pilot who happens to be a woman and holds her own with the rest of the guys. No pandering here folks. Just a good female character.

Yeah, just his face did a great job of showing the situation he was in. If Maverick failed, it would be a huge kick in the balls to an already shaky morale situation. If Maverick crashed or died, the Admiral would have to answer for it. Even if Maverick completely succeeds, the Admiral has to discipline him for it, but wouldn't be able to kick him out because he just succeeded at it. Somehow Hamm conveys all that in a matter of seconds on-screen.

Cyclone’s reaction is the best. He’s the commanding officer of the mission and seemingly the antagonist to Maverick’s methods, but in his heart he’s still a fighter pilot and is rooting for Maverick to pull this run off more than anyone. And the fact that we the audience are the only ones to see the hope and excitement in his eyes during Maverick’s run, makes this scene.

@suave-alpaca8412 Жыл бұрын

I agree. I was worried that he would be someone who’s overly against Maverick out of pettiness, but Im glad that its not. He’s just being reasonable. No one could pull off what Maverick asked, and the time is ticking, so he decided to take over. But after seeing that it could be done, he took action and assign Maverick as team captain, because Maverick would provide leadership and morale boost being on the field. At the end Cyclone risked his entire career for this

@michaelnguyen823 Жыл бұрын

I have to say I like Warlock's reaction, too. As the XO, he seems to be freer to root for Maverick while still showing certain deference to Cyclone, but here, he says Screw It and really wants Maverick to pull it off.

It's a win-win for Cyclone. Either Mav fails and he can turn and say, "See? This guy's way won't work" and begin his training, or Mav succeeds, and while he has to eat some crow, the team now knows what's possible and can work on getting it done.

I loved this scene, but I wish they would have given the guys watching it something better to get excited about. A line that slowly goes green isn't very exciting.

It would have been better if there was a cockpit cam they were watching, or even a speed indicator or something. It's still a powerful scene, but that's my only nitpick.

The younger pilots look more in awe how he was able to do it on his first run. The older guys know the survival of the pilots depend on if maverick is able to prove it can be done.

Maverick was cleared of wrongdoing. Goose was killed due to an irreversible flat spin caused by a compressor stall on the F-14. The subsequent ejection was fatal because of how the F-14's ejection sequence works. . The ejection handle is pulled . 0.2 seconds later it fires . 0.5 seconds later the RIO is ejected. . 0.4 seconds later the pilot is ejected. In a flat spin, the canopy doesn't fall cleanly away, it hovers for half a second or so . Remember in the ejection sequence, the RIO is first so as the canopy was not fully clear of the fuselage, due to the lack of forward movement; Goose hit the canopy suffering fatal head and neck injuries.

That's only partially true. Gravity is of course squeezing, but pilots are taught to breathe and tense their bodies in a specific manner that forces blood to their head to avoid g-loc. Maverick is doing those grunts intentionally - it's part of the process. And since he's really pulling those g's, he's really doing the proper techniques.

For those that don't know: At this point in the film, Maverick has been training the students for weeks, trying to get them to finish this run in 2 minutes 30 seconds, because that's what the real mission will require in order for them to stay alive. After weeks of training, the students still haven't been able to do it and most have become tired of Maverick, and believe that what hes asking is impossible. Because of this, the Admiral begins questioning Mavericks teaching ability, fires him, and chooses to take over the class himself. He sets a time limit of 4 minutes, which is definitely do-able but will end up getting the pilots killed more than likely because its too slow. Maverick steals a jet and flys the course himself in front of the Admiral and the class just to prove it can be done. And in order to make his point even more, he flys it in 2 minutes 15 seconds, that's 15 seconds faster than the mission even calls for. On top of THAT, he does everything by himself just to show them how it can definitely be done with the two plane teams the students will be flying in. The students will have two jets on the mission, one plane for carrying the bombs and a second jet with a person responsible for aiming the bombs. It might be the most intense scene I've ever watched in a theater. Once you have context it's even better

Cyclone is a bit of an unsung hero, here. He told Maverick that he had only shown the students that the goal was unachievable. Purposefully or not, he motivated Maverick as only a good leader can.

Well said, Cyclone is a great leader because he showed humility and put the mission before his ego. Despite Maverick defying his commands and orders, he could separate insubordination from what needed to be done to accomplish the mission. He exhibited extreme ownership when he gave up his own plan in favor of Maverick's after he proved it could be done - because it was indeed the best way. Cyclone allowed Maverick to lead and risked his career doing so because ultimately the mission and the lives of the team are more important than his career.

But held just as much if not more weight than an actual climax . And I think his grunts drove the scene.

One of the more underrated aspects of this scene to me was Hangman's reaction. He'd been portrayed as an overly cocky loner (which he is), but the look he gives the admiral when it becomes obvious what Maverick is doing, and the look he gives as Maverick starts say, "Aww yeah, I want to see this!" and shows he thinks Maverick can do it. Just a neat little blink and you'll miss it character development that helps make the movie as cool as it is.

When I saw this movie for the first time I was like oh yeah Hangman is the new Iceman but Glen Powell just killed it and I think he is my favorite character of the film even over Maverick. You wanted to hate Hangman but he was just so good at being cocky and he had to be the one to make Rooster realize what he was doing wrong and when it came time for the actual mission I was scared for everyone because I thought someone isn’t surviving this mission.

when i watched this i noticed Hangman how he got comfy in his seat with a smug grin ready to watch Mav fail but halfway thru he was sat forward and had a serious look which i think was where he believed Mav just might do it and then finally a "Damn" from a pilot who now has 100% respect for the "old timer"

@timeismyeverything Жыл бұрын

His face at 2:35 is a mixture of willing Maverick to succeed, a look of humility and almost a realisation that he is nowhere near that level. His reaction change through this scene is a character study in itself, as are the others. It's an incredible scene that treats the audience with respect.

I respectfully disagree. As great as this movie was, it didn't deserve to win IMO. The only win this movie deserved was the one category it deservedly won IMO (Sound). I'm glad a non-franchise movie won in fact, and I do think EEAAO was better, juggling a lot of layers of story masterfully (I say this as someone who has THE FABELMANS as my favorite of the year, with EEAAO in 2nd (TOP GUN: MAVERICK is my 4th favorite of the year overall)). Let's not forget that EEAAO also found a massive audience, especially considering it's small budget.

Alot of credit to the pilot flying the F-18 with Tom Cruise in the backseat, and having to complete what I would guess is a high level and dangerous flight sequence for this film. This had to be a highly stressful situation to be in with a huge movie star putting his life in his hands.

The flight was literally "do or die" in any case, so the identity of the backseater is irrelevant.
