Downfall: The Case of Boeing begins by highlighting the immense reputation the aircraft manufacturer Boeing has among the general public. However, on October 29, 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed shortly after takeoff; the plane used for the flight was the Boeing 737 MAX, a relatively recent and popular aircraft model at the time. Due to Boeing's reputation and safety concerns over Lion Air, initial blames targeted the airline and pilots. When the flight recorders were retrieved, it was revealed that the aircraft experienced mysteriously rapid changes in pitch and that no pilot error was indicated, hinting design error. Five months later on March 10, 2019, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, also operated by a Boeing 737 MAX, crashed with the same conditions as Flight 610.

Early and personal life
Brian J. Terwilliger was born in Manchester, Connecticut, in May 14, 1978. He became an avid aviation enthusiast when he was young.

He has a sister and a girlfriend, the latter of which is as of 2015.

Career
At age 16, Terwilliger and his family moved to Los Angeles as his father moved his job there. He thus got more exposure to the film industry, and made his first short film, Workbench to Runway, for his school's cinematography course, featuring him assembling a model aircraft. Meanwhile in 1995 at age 19, he was introduced to general aviation by aviation enthusiast friend Jon Witkin, who is a captain of the 79th Fighter Squadron as of 2004. Despite parental disapproval, he started joining flight school at Van Nuys Airport; he made his first solo flight at three months later and earning his private pilot license (PPL) at age 20, exactly six months later. He however is unable to continue further as he is color blind.

He thought to himself that he is an "inherently creative" person and does not need film school; to excel more in the business side of filmmaking, he attended California State University, Northridge and majored in business and entertainment, a major he created himself, and graduated in 1999. After that, he was determined to learn more aspects of the film industry, thus worked in various freelance jobs, such as a projectionist; grip; electrician; editor; production manager; first assistant director of independent films like Sordid Lives (2000); and visual effects coordinator on two 2003 films, Big Fish and The Core. Another reason is so that he can get more respect in the film industry and get more opportunities. Feeling that he "didn't want to be an expert or professional" in these trivial occupations and solely get opportunities on them, he decided to stop and start making a film.

In 2000, Terwilliger had the idea of a film about Van Nuys while having a conversation with a then-employer of his sister's company. He soon gained huge financial support enough to make a film, later called One Six Right: The Romance of Flying, which was released in 2005. Despite attracting no distributor attention, it quickly amassed a cult following among aviation enthusiasts and people alike worldwide, thanks to a viral marketing strategy performed. This is the first film released by his eponymous Terwilliger Productions, an independent limited liability company (LLC) based in Northridge, Los Angeles. According to OpenGovUS, the LLC started in July 1, 2007.

Critical response
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes sampled 18 reviews and deemed A Sun generally well-received by critics, many of whom called it among, or even the, best film of 2019/2020; Tony Rayns, writing for Sight & Sound, called it "the most impressive film of recent times", and Deburge called it "a world-cinema stunner" built on mastery.

Many critics came to enjoy the film's treatment of its themes. The good and the evil are given balanced coverage, and the variety of subgenres, including crime, drama, and comedy are found to coalesce smoothly, allowing for good pacing and compelling narrative, making the film "a riveting moral odyssey", as written by David Ehrlich of IndieWire. The story was also praised for its organic flow and richness in nuance, with A-Hao's suicide sequence compared to the films of Lee Chang-dong. Many have also highlighted the violent opening sequence, compared to the works of Quentin Tarantino, providing a preface to the film's spectrum of emotions. Its nature motifs and slight emotional ambiguity were also praised. Chung's style has been compared to those of Edward Yang, Ang Lee, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Barry Jenkins, and Lulu Wang; the film was also compared with Yang's A Brighter Summer Day (1991) and Yi Yi (2000), and many opined that A Sun makes Chung a possible successor for the New Taiwanese Cinema. The camera framing, which attempts to give the characters a sense of disconnection from the surrounding environment, is compared to the films of Michael Haneke.

The cast performances are widely praised for their embodiment of the characters they portray, further uplifting the film's emotional weight. Pramit Chatterjee of Mashable praised Wu's performance as "heavy" and Hsu's as impacting. Chen's performance is also said to add more depth into his short-tempered character, depicting his ambivalent personality accurately. Liu's performance gives Radish's character a distinct menacing impression. Ko is said to add to the kindness strength of Qin's character, with Kevin L. Lee of Film Inquirer equating her to Regina King's performance as a mother in If Beale Street Could Talk (2018). The female cast are also praised for their uniqueness. Additionally, the remaining supporting cast were praised as equally as the ensemble, with Liu said to successfully portray the manipulative Radish.
