FLIGHT: near to perfect – a reality


Nominated for Best Picture in 2012 Oscars is a movie that deals beyond survival, a lovestory with heavier legal issues and life’s struggles - FLIGHT.

The film will take you to an uncompromised situation, as a passenger of an airline you seemed to be helpless but wait for your death to come when the plane is about to crash. Director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump) effectively binds facts and fiction into a perfect art of storytelling. While Denzel Washington collected citations from various award giving bodies like Black Reel, Palm Spring, Chicago and Holywood Film Festivals and Screen Actors Guild as Best Actor in an alcoholic airline pilot characterization is a crash-and-burn epic.

FLIGHT is a movie that suggests to do things right, accept our wrongdoings, face the consequences with courage and most of all to change for the better.

FLIGHT is a “loosely inspired” story of  2000 Alaska Airlines Flight 261 where an alcoholic, womanizer and drug addict pilot  Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) skillfully maneuvered his malfunctioned airline to avoid a plane crash and saved hundreds of lives of the passengers.  But this incident does not end here, investigations has to be conducted to know the cause and the findings seemed not to favor Whitaker – this is the journey of a man, as a successful pilot, a father, a victim and a renewed man.

The movie ended with a father-son conversation about “the most fascinating person I’ve never met.”

This is a challenge to us all!!!
Free.
Beautiful.
Perfect.
Just FLIGHT.

Rating: 5/5
