Courage to take responsibility

I like watching movies played by Denzel Washington. He is a black movie star with superb acting skills, handsome appearance and personable demeanor. "Time and Space Clues", "Training Day", "Human Bone Puzzle", "Life and Death", "Goose Pond Assassination Order" and so on, in my eyes he is a righteous and wise man role model. So when I started watching "Flight", I thought he had transformed, but as the plot unfolded, he went from being a bad guy who was drinking, taking drugs, telling lies, and didn't cherish family and friends, and finally awakened and assumed the responsibilities that he had assumed. His performance is full of contradictions, texture and life.

The story is very simple. The male protagonist played by Denzel is an experienced airplane pilot, but his marriage broke up, he was addicted to alcohol, and relied on drugs to refresh himself. So flying on an airplane is really dangerous. There are both natural disasters and some Man-made disasters are hard to prevent. It's not that there are news videos saying that the flight crews have sex activities during the flight, which is just a trifling matter for the passengers of an airplane. At 9 o’clock that morning, the plane took off. Due to a malfunction, the plane lost control. Due to his experience, he made an emergency landing. Of course, 6 people were killed and many others were injured. Among them, one of the two female crew members was killed. His lover, he became a hero for a while. But with the investigation of the accident, there were many doubts, and he conceited that it was because he saved the lives of other people, did not correct his own problems, and even chose to escape, but in the final hearing, he ignored The lawyer’s warning, facing the photo of the dead crew member, was also the girlfriend who lived with him the night before the incident. As long as he transferred the responsibility of drinking to her, he could continue to be his hero, but he chose to confess and at the same time I also chose prison. At the critical moment, the willows were bright, the conscience appeared, and he did not bear the condemnation of morality and conscience, and finally won the liberation of self, the support of his girlfriend, and the respect of his son. He continued his heroic image.

Watching movies makes sense. Movies are about moving people and sublimate their own sense of morality. I don’t think people feel that they can correct their shortcomings or mistakes. They always need external push and influence. Good works make people reflect. I will never change without reflection, and I feel that I am a god and I am always right. Also, the late is better, and it is better than the early too.

  • Hugh Lang: I'm trying to save your life!

    Whip: What life?

  • Hugh Lang: [to Whip] The FAA and the NTSB took 10 pilots, placed them in simulators, recreated the events that led to this plane falling out of the sky. Do you know how many of them were able to safely land the planes? Not one. Every pilot crashed the aircraft, killed everybody on board. You were the only one who could do it!
