'Flight Plan' is good, but flawed....!

I watched 'Flight Plan' played by Jodie Foster a couple of weeks back. I like the show. It sets us thinking. Never to make assumptions.

It was a good show, until the last scene. It displayed how racist and imperfect Americans still are!

In the show, the captain of the flight had wronged Jodie Foster for hallucinating, seeking attention and creating a lot of unrest on board. When the truth was out, the captain walked up to Jodie, and apologised for his accusations.

But Jodie had also wronged an Arab on the flight. She screamed and accused the Arab of abducting her daughter. But when the truth emerged, and the Arab wasn't the culprit (it was an American who abducted her), Jodie did not apologise for her rash actions. The accused Arab had still lend her a helping hand with the luggage.

It sort of implies that when an American wronged an Arab, he does not need to be sorry for it. The Arab, in return, still have to treat the American like friends, if not bosses.

Hollywood's script is very telling!!!
