And then when Flight came out, they were like, Zemeckis has topped himself.

Right.

What's fascinating about this one.

This is the fucking plane crash movie.

What is most interesting about Weir's approach to the plane crash to me, besides...

Aside from I think spacing it out is brilliant.

Yes, I agree.

And you're getting only these little slivers.

He's holding off for so long.

And in those little slivers that are mostly about dramatizing the human reaction to this thing going wrong and getting worse, which he does really, really well.

Those moments are very intense.

But cinematically, he is just using like Star Trek original series tricks and

Until the final sequence, he's truly just like kind of shaking the camera and shaking the set.

And it's well done and it's well acted.

And I'm rewatching it and I'm going like, man, David texted this is the ultimate plane crash movie.

He gets it right dramatically, but it's not that visceral.

And I forgot how extreme the end sequence is.

And you said realistic, realistic in the sense that it hits so many different beats of what would happen.

It visualizes the different elements of what happens in a crash, but it also does feel stylized.

It feels nightmarish while also feeling like transcendent and almost holy.
