What a talented actor Denzel Washington is!

Rating: 8/10 (13 June 2013)

I was pretty surprised about the fact that "Flight" doesn't have rating lower than 8. I have not seen that many movies which were carried by one character and still gave me such a powerful message and deep feeling.
I do not hesitate to say that this was one of the best films from Denzel Washington and quietly overwhelmed by his performance in the film.
The plane crushes and the police has found the evidence that there was a possibility that the captain Whitaker(Denzel Washingto) was drinking alcohol while saving almost all of his passengers during the crash.
The movies focuses on two characters - Whitaker and Nicole. Whitaker is widowed airplane pilot who is alcoholic and drug-addict. Nicole is drug- addict who cannot afford to pay neither for her bills nor the drugs.
During the movie, Whitaker said to Nicole that "it is you who is addicted to drug ,not me. I chose to drink. I'm not addicted to anything." This is the very common reaction from people who have addiction to something. They do not realize and do not want to recognize the fact that they are addicted. By saying these stuffs, they lie to themselves and family or friends. These lies hurt their relations with the people and the isolation leads them to fall into addiction deeper.
In the end of the movie, Whitaker decides to stop lying and say the truth. Even though he went to prison with many years and suspended from being a pilot, he was freed by recognizing he was drug-addict and alcoholic and recovered the relations with his family.
I highly recommend this movie as it shows the great performance and excellent message to the generation where many people are addicted to something whether it is computer, alcohol, smartphone, or drugs. Great Film!
