Movie Reviews of One Six Right
Movie Review: Incredible story but sad implications
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was a fabulously shot video history of an airport, the community adoption, and then the community rejection. It is so sad to see how many businesses, and other local functions like airports, have brought so much to an area and then the people turn on it like a mad dog. In many cases the business adapts but the people rarely do.
O'Hare airport in Chicago is a prime example bringing incredible jobs, wealth, and opportunity to a city building it into an aviation empire only to see it now beat up daily by the local residents and politicians. Ironically the politicians even turn on airports gladly throwing away millions of dollars so they can "look better" to the voters (i.e., Meigs Field in Chicago).
America has become a land of build it, use it, crap on it, get angry once it leaves, and then ask for a handouts from lost jobs and income. This video does a good job explaining this mindset and it's sad implications.
Finally, it also shows our admiration of flight, technology, and the people taking the financial and personal risks. The people still have these admiring feelings but the exposures to these great things are being taken away from us everyday.
An incredible story but sad implications.
Summary of One Six Right
One Six Right is an exhilarating documentary film that celebrates the unsung hero of aviation - the local airport - by tracing the life, history, and struggles of an airport icon: Southern California's Van Nuys Airport. Featuring thrilling aerial photography and a sweeping original score, the film dispels common misconceptions and opposes criticism of General Aviation airports. Through the love story of one airport, past to present, the film shares the timeless romance of flying with all ages. The film takes viewers on a journey of spectacular aerial sequences and tells a romantic story through the accounts of passionate pilots, air traffic controllers, historians and flight enthusiasts, including well-known faces such as Sydney Pollack, Lorenzo Lamas, Paul Moyer, Hal Fishman and many others. There is no off-screen narrator. The film uncovers the rich history of this airport - Amelia Earhart broke a world speed record over its runways, Marilyn Monroe was discovered while working in its hangars, and scenes from Casablanca were filmed on its grounds. Almost every type of aircraft has graced its runways, from the primitive airplanes of the 1920's to the state-of-the-art business jets of today. Through the history of the Van Nuys Airport (VNY), the viewer comes to have a new appreciation for the significance of all General Aviation airports as a critical component of the communities they serve. Located in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, VNY is today the world's busiest General Aviation airport and contributes over $1 billion each year to the Southern California economy. One Six Right explores common misconceptions about General Aviation airports, which are often criticized for noise pollution and viewed as exclusive playgrounds for the rich. The film creates an awareness of the threat to these community airports through staggering statistics of airports that no longer exist, and the rapid rate at which they are continuing to close (1 per weekSimilar DVD Movies
