Americans sometimes enjoy solving problems by mathing them in the face (with explosions, of course!)<br /><br />But so I do think you could have plenty of suspense and drama with something like this.

Traditional superheroes are a particular example of this: problems, no matter how abstract, can be solved by a specific person punching a specific other person.<br /><br />So to make this film your way they'd set up a specific instruction-manual writer, who's opposed by all the other people working on it, but his wife believes in him, and…Firedrakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-56676159013822154442016-10-14T15:49:11.708-04:002016-10-14T15:49:11.708-04:00From a quick glance at Wikipedia, I suspect that C...From a quick glance at Wikipedia, I suspect that Captain Sullenberger himself would prefer your version.depizanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718932582443559617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-66461199979300800222016-10-14T10:06:25.752-04:002016-10-14T10:06:25.752-04:00I don't think the movie you describe would be ...I don't think the movie you describe would be an exciting one.
