Q A Functional Alcoholic

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2020)

I've seen this movie a couple of times. Each instance was at a completely different period of my life and I watched with a completely different mindset each time. The first time I saw it, I saw mostly only what was on the surface, the thrill of the plane crash. This time, the second time, I watched it with the point of view of someone who helps individuals with addictions. Captain Whitaker did his job every day. He was able to function every day.
He saved lives the day of the crash. No question about it. He saved lives even under the influence of cocaine and alcohol. No one questions anything until something happens. We would probably be surprised how many people function while impaired by substance use. This is an important movie. Watch it.
