Spoilers Ahoy!
Just saw Flight, the new movie from Robert Zemeckis. I think Denzel did a great job, but did anybody else get a *serious* born-again Christian vibe off of this one? Pentacostals pull passengers from the wreckage of the plane, the characters seem to refer to God in every other scene, Denzel's dealer is constantly accompanied by the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil", and in the end Denzel says "God help me" when he finally admits to being an alcoholic, and thanks God when he gets sober. It's can't be just me, can it?
I'd like to note that I have nothing against Christians as a general rule, but I am somewhat offended that these film makers seem to want to imply that only the Christian God can save a person from drug addiction.
