Its amazing to me that there can be a need to remake for dramatical or documentary purposes an event like this...
I don't see why...
I do not need a film (for whatever purpose) to remind me, or show me somethign different that I may not fully understand about a certain aspect of that day...
It is forever, without any need to be re-kindled, re-inspired, inbedded in my soul...
Remembering my wife was in the tallest potential target in downtown Houston...Telling her to just get her purse and leave the office...I told her not to get on the bus system, it would be clogged...I told her to go to a spot we both knew that was a relatively safe area till I went to pick her up myself...We'd deal with fighting our way home together...
It was not out of fear, but it was out of being prudent to remove yourself from a potential risky environment...
A lot of people around the country did that...
And then we all sat in front of TV's all over the place watching all of the scenes being worked, and knowing that more could've come our way...
I don't need a reminder...After five years, I don't need someone to tell me about 9-11...
I remember it everyday, and will do so for the rest of my life...It is something you cannot forget...
This is not a "remake"; it was filmed on the day of the attacks. Two French filmmakers were doing a documentary on New York City firefighters, and the events of 9/11 happened around them. It was first aired (uncut, no matter what some posters are remembering) within a few months of 9/11, and is being shown again for the fifth anniversary.
