good grief, I am sure that Mr. Dobson himself will find himself swearing if he was in the same position Actually the Focus on the Family review was pretty positive.
They note the profanity because they know parents want to know these things in deciding whether the film is appropriate for their children.
Also, one interesting note ... Sliney himself says that he was asked to exaggerate the profanity ... so it wasn't strictly "realism":
Sliney did note, however, one thing that was exaggerated for the film: profanity. "They asked me to swear, which I customarily don't do. ... I wanted on that day to be calm and authoritative for all the people on the floor. In a stressful situation, they don't want to see the person in charge getting excited." That added vulgarity is perhaps the only obvious box-office concession in a story that in most other ways is not typical Tinseltown fare.

So United 93 is much better than Flight 93...I just ask that question. I didn't notice the conspiracy thingy with the firemen and FBI. I think it was hard to believe all that was left of that flight was a big hole. Not realizing the jet was traveling at least 400mph with full fuel tanks.
That's why so many people can't believe a huge jet hit the pentagon cause there was nothing left. That jet also hit the pentagon going full throttle with fuel tanks full. People have a hard time grasping what burning fuel does to buildings and hitting those buildings as fast as possible.

Just came from seeing Flight 93 less than an hour ago. I have come away with the feeling that we are in a war right now against a ruthless enemy that whats to destroy the people and the country of the United States and our friends in Israel. We must do our best to destroy, kill and eliminate as many Arab Muslims as we can and as quickly and efficently as possible. They are no innocents! Muslim civilians are not innocent if they are joyous and approve of mass murder such as the Sept 11 attacks. They are not nice to us and we have no business trying to be nice and understanding with them. God had no problem killing entire cities of people and animals and then salting the earth in the old testament. We must do the same.
The time is growing very critical...Iran is trying very hard to make atomic bombs. They threaten this country saying they already have many suitcase nukes in the USA now and will set them off if we attack.
We need to act with such complete force and destruction that the muslim world will never think of any kind of terrorist attack again anywhere in the world. The penalty must be so great and terrible for every terrorist attack.
Yes, I know I sound like a nut case....its like the crusades all over again. Its time to thin out the crazy killers of the arab world.
LETS ROLL!!!!

That's what I forgot about 9/11. I forgot how angry I was on that day.
Now, it is back full force...
Let's f*ckin ROLL!

World-wide? We have to wait until 17th August, apparently, in Australia. Which I think bites the big one.
I'll be lobbying for it to be released much sooner.

Hello,
Exactly!
However, I must admit that I was the sobbing, freaked out and shocked one here. My husband informed me that a plane had hit one of the WTC Towers. We drank our coffee and looked up just in time to see the 2nd plane. He looked at me, with a cold look in his eye, and said. "We are war, this changes everything". Then he went to work. True story. He would have been right there, saying Let's Roll, and if presented with a similar situation, he would make us all proud. I believe that you would, as well.
Glad to be here, MOgirl

I would have no clue how I would react if I was on United 93.
Hopefully as brave as they were...

It should win every award there is to win. I hope so also; however, I'm too pessimistic about Hollywood. I doubt they'd give any recognition to any film that (1) didn't change the Muslim terrorists to Nazi's, and (2) didn't have a "strong, committed loving and persecuted" gay male couple as the heroes.

I didn't think the movie was sympathetic to the Jihadist cause at all. I hope not.

If it was soon enough for the victims' families to show this film, the rest of America can just keep their "sensitive" opinions to themselves. The ones that think it's too soon can stay home.

Hello,
I typed a long response to your post, and then deleted it because truth is, I don't either. Let's hope and pray that we don't have to find out, FRiend.

Sorry to have offended. You were exactly where my husband was, and I am proud of him and grateful for your contribution.

I'm curious to hear what the DUmmies say about this movie, but I don't have enough self loathing to go over there and look Ain't that the truth. Here on FR, I hear enough about what the DUmmies who are elected to Congress have to say and don't have any stomach left for browsing on that sorry excuse for a competitor to Free Republic.

It's a movie I intend to see in the theater. I saw Titanic in the theater in 1997 and then Seabiscuit in 2002 or 2003.
I am very selective nowadays.

I know what you mean. This wasn't just for this movie, however. They break every single movie down like that--violience, sex, negative elements, language. It is a guide for parents.
As a Christian myself, I imagine that my language might be a bit colorful in that situation. I pray that I never have to find out just how colorful.
