For responsibility or for freedom?

I took the time to watch this "Flight" (Hong Kong translation: Confidential Truth), and after reading it, I felt that it was not bad. The protagonist finally dared to face himself, admitted that he was an alcoholic, and accepted legal sanctions.
But I always feel that he did this not because he really should be responsible for the 4 people who died after the plane crashed (4 out of 100 people died), but more for himself, to free himself, and not to be addicted to alcohol, I don't want to keep lying.
Although he is said to be very courageous, this courage is not because he feels that he is really responsible and must be responsible for the six people who died, but other reasons that make him unwilling to hide it. He feels that he has ruined his life after drinking alcohol. But he had never been willing to change anything or pay any price before, and now he felt that it was time for atonement. After all, it was for himself, and the rest was just incidental.
He's not a great person, just like Forrest Gump (the director is the one who filmed Forrest Gump), Forrest Gump isn't great either, he just does what others seem great.

Flight quotes

  • 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!
