FLIGHT

Denzel Washington is my favorite actor. His best movie for me was "Man On Fire. "In Man On Fire," He absolutely killed everybody in the movie but the Director. "Flight" is an ethereal movie in a way. It is about a remarkable pilot who was essentially drunk while landing a crashing plane in an impossible scenario--a feat that no one could do like Denzel. It goes against every single thing that we think/believe. Come on! The guy saves all these lives and doing it while drunk. But, he does it. We see it. Denzel is a functional drunk. Could it have really happened that way? Maybe. I doubt it. It is the movies. But, people who have made a career of drinking can and perform. I've seen it. They have the alcohol plan as I call it. The man who starts drinking on Friday after work, drinks all weekend, stops at 3 in the afternoon so he'll be ready for work. It happens. "Flight" and Denzel was one of those. Good movie. See it. A few loose ends that weren't tied up, i.e., the damsel in distress he rescued what happened to her? Here's the last thing: storyline comes down to a single question. The good and heroic pilot only has to answer one question before the Transportation and Safety Board adand he walks out, career in tact, hero. Just one last question.
