freewrite week 6 day 2

I just recently watched the movie Flight.  It was a great story.  It was nothing like what I expected it to be.  The huge flight crash happens in the first twenty minutes.  The rest of the movie is about the pilots addiction problems and if they affected his ability that day to fly that day.  It was eventually found that it was a major issue mechanically with the plane that made it crash.  Not only that, but they found in simulated attempts to fly a plane in the same situation no other pilot could have landed without killing everyone on board.  To me it was more about the pilot Whip realizing how much of a problem he had with drinking and drugs.  He is spending so much time lying to everyone about his problem and trying to get them to cover up for his questionable actions and behavior that day he doesn’t see that he is spiraling out of control.  A little more than a week before his huge review hearing he decides to get clean.  All seems great till the night before he relapses in a major way.  It’s a pivotal scene.  In some cosmic way the door attached to the hotel room next to his opens.  It has a fully stocked mini bar.  You hope that he can resist the temptation and stay clean, but the power to have a drink it too much for him.   His friend and lawyer show up an hour before the hearing to find him passed out on the bathroom floor.  The scene shows a thrashed room with empty mini bottles tossed around the room.  All hope of him getting threw the hearing and not being thrown in jail seems gone.  In a hilarious twist he calls his dealer to bring him cocaine to level him out after a night of drinking.  You think that all is well he looks great and is acting like a half way normal person.  His down fall came when they accused one of the flight attendants who had died in the crash who he had a relationship with, of drinking on the flight.  He couldn’t handle lying anymore.  He confessed to being drunk that day and drinking on the flight.  It put him in jail but he finally confessed to having a real problem.  It wasn’t what I expected but truly a good movie.
