Flight Review Thoughts
Eric Middleton
I thought the review by Stephen Whitty
was a very well written one full of substance and intuition. He harbors alot on
what the audience feels the movie will be mostly about and he starts to unravel
general questions. The first would be who is Denzel Washington's character?
Trailers for this
movie have Denzel pegged as the star character as even ifs promotional posters
have just Denzel on it. Whitty knows that the audience will be keyed on his
performance as "Whip Whitaker." Each sentence about him is short, concrete,
and gets straight to the point with accurate details. Even when Whitty gets
into the scenery, theme, and plot of the movie, he shows how Whip reacts to
these subjects of interest. Whitty chooses other movies as clarification
through character studies on similarities amongst them.
The best thing I like about the review is that
he gives the right kind of revelations while emphasizing the complexity of
Whip's psyche as we delve deeper in the movie. The theme he chooses compliments
this whole kind of psychological take on the movie. It works because it isn't
just praise, it gets the reader into knowing what kind of film they can expect
to see.
