It was very painful for me to watch at all. Most of all it made me very very angry...

Me too. I just don’t understand the positions that the MSM, Europe & the UN take on this subject. Their ignorant PC garbage, makes my blood boil.

Me too. Every time I see that plane approaching the Trade Center and then disappearing within the building I get a wash of rage that comes over me.

Yes, painful indeed, but also beautiful.

Especially chilling is the beauty of the Arabic chanting of the Koranic texts, contrasted with what they are actually saying. Notably that one text, which I don’t recall having seen before, to the effect that we will burn you and then Allah will give you a new skin so we can burn you again—coming after the words of that woman on the phone from the WTC, and the pictures of the bombed buses and trains and victims of the bombings.

The film skirts extremely close to gratuitous violence, but IMHO never quite crosses the line.

It’s not pleasant reading something like Oedipus or King Lear, either, but they are still great works of art.
