I want to talk about this movie with my SIL, who is a recovering alcoholic, to see if she thinks it rings true. From the little I understand, addicts have to hit rock bottom before they will get sober and rock bottom means different things to different people.
I really couldn't figure out which way the movie was going to go, if he was going to sober up or not. I can't see him voluntarily going to rehab or sticking with sobriety unless he was forced to.
No, he probably had to go to prison to get sober. It just didn't work for me because I really didn't believe that that character would have done that. I really don't believe that anyone in his position would have done that. The sacrifice was too large, and I don't have that much faith in humankind, apparently. It just didn't ring true. It was a really good movie (with a good soundtrack), but I just didn't like the end because it was unconvincing.
I agree PJ_Soul. I can see if he wasn't in his true element (which was being TOTALLY WASTED ) that he might crack, (pun intended). If he was sober & feeling uncomfortable maybe, but doubtful. I know too many alcoholics, I never saw any of them with a conscience when they were drunk, just doesn't happen. But I did enjoy the movie, even better than Argo, which I saw the night before. Affleck may be able to direct, but he still sucks as an actor :thumbdown: .

Awesome - especially if you are a Shining fan.

Not to mention, you will RUN to watch the Shining as soon as its over...and Clockwork...and Eyes Wide Shut...and Full Metal Jacket....and 2001
Gotta love Kubrick...

The new G.I. Joe. Easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen!!! It's was HORRIBLE! Didn't even come close to the first one. The Rock was the only reason I didn't walk out. He was entertaining.
i thought it was way better than the first one. wasn't nearly as ridiculous i thought. some things were at least plausible.
That's the reason I loved the first one. It shouldn't be believable it's G.I. Joe! :fp:
The second one was boring as hell.
They're are plenty of believable things on everywhere else. Pretty much everything on TV is reality. Movies should be an escape for reality not a version of it in my opinion.

Yeah... I thought that part was unrealistic. I would have probably been more satisfied if he'd just done what anyone would have done in reality, which is say what he had to say to save his career, and then go to rehab for a few months.
I want to talk about this movie with my SIL, who is a recovering alcoholic, to see if she thinks it rings true. From the little I understand, addicts have to hit rock bottom before they will get sober and rock bottom means different things to different people.
I really couldn't figure out which way the movie was going to go, if he was going to sober up or not. I can't see him voluntarily going to rehab or sticking with sobriety unless he was forced to.

It was a really good movie (with a good soundtrack), but I just didn't like the end because it was unconvincing.
Update:
I talked to my SIL about the movie. She hadn't seen it and doesn't plan to so I gave her the basic story and told her about what he did at the hearing. She said NO WAY! He would absolutely lie to save himself. In particular, the more desperate the circumstances, the greater the risks an addict will take.
She also told me that pilots and surgeons have their own AA groups. People in AA hear some incredible stories but apparently nobody can handle hearing what kinds of things pilots or surgeons have done. :shock:

I com plenty u derstand why they would have their own AA groups. I know that if I went to an AA meeting, and someone there said that they were flying a commercial airplane or operating on people while drunk, I'd go out of my way to figure out who they are and report them, AA oaths or whatever be damned. My conscience wouldn't allow me not to. So yeah, makes sense for them to keep it in the family!
