Lisa Schwarzbaum, of Entertainment Weekly, wrote that United 93 pulls the "bandage of sentiment cleanly away from oozing concepts like 'heroism' and 'our nation's war on terror' in the aftermath of recent wounds . . . and grants the dignity of autonomy to every soul involved. In this telling . . . each hijacker is a man with a temperament and a religious conviction, not a cartoon monster."

Well, that just ruined it for me, I won't be seeing that crap.

And what the Hell is "grants the dignity of autonomy" supposed to mean anyway? I don't think any conservative ever tried to claim that terrorists were androids. Is she talking about the libtard conspiracy nutcases who tried to claim that the CIA programed robots to crash the planes?

I guess she must mean the terrorists were shown to have emotions then? Well, I think most people assume hatred was a factor; and I don't know of anyone, anywhere, who ever tried to claim that Muslim terrorists weren't particularly religious. So if the director is going in a different direction, that can only mean he's trying to show us that the terrorists did what they did out of some other emotions. So, what are we talking about... Love? Compassion? A sense of humor? And pretty much everybody has some kind of "temperment," so is she saying the terrorists were, what, even-tempered?

Hey, feel-good gobbledygook might be a movie critic's only stock-in-trade, but there're times that needs to be reeled in just a bit. It's not at all too soon for a responsible movie about this subject, but I don't know if enough time will ever pass for this type of pro-terrorist sentiment to be appropriate.

So many people were so moved by the film...I think they were seeing it from their own "point of reference". Leave it to the MSM, movie critics etc. to "ruin it" or to "read between the lines" of what WE DON'T WANT TO SEE. I too think I will pass and watch the Discovery version.
