Sept 11 film 'too close' for Kiwi victim's family

Excerpt

A year after the 2001 attacks, Beaven's wife, Kimi, revealed to the Sunday Star-Times that her husband's remains were found in the cockpit of Flight 93 and his voice was on the cockpit voice recorder.

The film, to open on April 28 in America, has ignited debate there over whether the country is ready for such a vivid portrayal of the attacks.

When a trailer advertising the film was played at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, audience members began calling out, "Too soon!"

The trailer contains news film of one of the planes about to hit the World Trade Center, and a cinema in Manhattan took the rare step of pulling it from its screens after several complaints.

"One lady was crying," the manager told a local paper. "I don't think people are ready for this."

Ralph Beaven said he would not go to the cinema to watch the film. "For me personally, I'm not sure I'd go along, I think it would be a little too close to home. I don't want to go down that track again.

"It would be very emotionally charged, especially seeing someone else represent your brother."
