Flight

I have seen a few threads on here about the movie "Flight" and just thought I'd post another since I just saw this movie today.

All I can say is ... wow.

I saw so much of myself in Denzel's character. The lying, the denial, the rationalizing, the sneaking booze ... there were lots of AA references too, which I kind of chuckled about but they still rang true. Talk about the alcoholic's "wreckage" that they leave behind ... his character's was literal. Gave me a lot of food for thought and hit home in 1001 different ways.

I encourage everyone to go see it. Just my .02.

I saw myself portrayed in Denzel's character as well! What a great movie, especially for people fighting the urge to drink.

Flight is the best movie on addiction I've seen in my life and I've seen many. I left the movie theater balling. It touched something deep within me. It made me feel part of the greater whole.... I felt included in life instead of excluded by my addiction. The mini bar in the hotel room had hypnotic powers though lol. I've never seen one like it.

Awesome movie and performance by Denzel.

I really want to see this movie. I'd planned on seeing it with my daughters, but got tied up at work and they went on ahead. They didn't like it, but I know I will. I may just grab some popcorn and go see it all by myself

Looks good but not out in UK till Feb 2013. I've scheduled it in my diary!!

I should be 90 days by then if all goes to plan (which it will, of course!)
