flight (2012). directed by robert zemeckis.


i am actually surprised that this is a robert zemeckis movie of the famed back to the future (1985-1990) trilogy. and not bad i must say - while denzel washington is a veteran at playing men with a broken psyche - it is still a sombre movie without getting too dark - the scene in which he is fighting his will to drink that small bottle of vodka (i think?) in the next hotel room conveys how hopelessly wrong when an alcoholic tries to convince himself that he is not an alcoholic. 

the guy is in a constant battle of will - to drink or not to drink. stories like this makes me sad - i don't enjoy seeing people spiralling down to their doom.
