Flight Plan

[Lindzi]

Well I guess the idea of the little girl being dead would mean that Jodie Fosters character when crazy so it wasn't Too ovious that the little girl was alive but you do see evidence showing that the little girl is alive like the heart still being there and the fact that she was only travelling with one coffin.

Every movie/story goes through different stages, which, in very basic terms are;
Equilibrium
The distruption of equilibrium
The restoration of equilibrium
Plus, there's a whole bunch of plot twists in between.
It couldn't have just been as simple as Jodie Foster going crazy, or there'd be no story to tell...
The fact that it starts out as a mother and her child (which is the state of equilibrium) it suggests that for equilibrium to be restored, they would need to be reunited again.
Like I said, it depends how your mind works and how much you know about film.

I thought she was dead, I wouldn't think it was obvious..

You obviously do not watch too many films then , its blatently obvious she was never dead , there would be no story if the girl did'nt exist.
