Simply A Masterpiece
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
After the exciting beginning of the film, I gained high expectations for the ending. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Don't get me wrong: alcoholism and pilots are an interesting topic and it makes you realise the seriousness of this problem, but they just ruined the opportunity to make it interesting! I wouldn't recommend watching this, it's a waste of time.
Although most people watch the movie for the flight scene, I find most interesting the struggle of Mr. Whitaker to stay on his feet during the whole federal trial process. I was hoping for him to lie at the end, as I wanted him to be unpunished, for some reason. Probably because throughout the whole movie I identified with his struggles personally.
I think it will neither add nor remove anything out of this movie. Initially, I thought it was going to be about a plane crash but as it went on, this story turned into a very true and moving story. There were a couple of actings, specially from one of the flight attendants who survived, which I felt kind of too flat and expected. Otherwise, I liked the gist of story and also the behind-the-scenes investigations when there is an plane accident. Apart from this crash, the whole story line about alcoholism and its consequences was very well developed and it touches deep fibers. I think this is a very didactical movie that can give a lesson to many people who struggle with this disease.
Not sure why the f there was a girl named for 3o min while he aimlessly talked on the phone. But it's sad that these actors have resulted to having a cheap girl doing cheap things all the time.. I have no idea what the point of that was . We fast forwarded that whole scene which HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PLOT. Most likely a trick to get some randy kids to buy tickets.
