I think a lot of credit should be given to the young men who had the extreme task of portraying the men who hijacked United 93. It certainly must not be enviable to be the embodiment of a shameful few who forever tainted their culture.

One of the actors actually was in the Iraqi Army, from what I read about the cast.

I wonder if they are Muslims, the 4 actors? Anyone know?

You made a wonderful post earlier and I wanted to commend you for it. I agree with everything you said and your summary and analysis was in alignment with why I felt the film was superior to what would have been the typical Hollywood approach to this event.

It is one of the best films I've ever seen and though I didn't sob or weep, my eyes did well up and I did clench my jaw and my fist and my lip quivered uncontrollably.

It's an emotionally exhausting movie and I think Greengrass took just the right approach. Perhaps a more cliched film would work for another event...
