They couldn't bring themselves to summon the courage to even see a movie about 9/11. But they could summon the gall to write about it from the safety of their keyboards. They think the movie is about grief. But it is not about grief. It is about courage.
We are fortunate, then, that it was some other group of random people actually aboard Flight 93. I came out of the movie, not grieving-- but proud and angry.

"Americans don't want to see the film"
Thats because they are cowards
That could also be said of "Pasion of the Christ", but that did not seem to stop ticket sales.
"When the trauma of that day is further behind us, more Americans will probably embrace this film. But not yet. Not yet."
That's right, Libs. Five years is just too soon. But, I know! Let's just wait for the next attack. Everyone knows you're all living for that moment so you can Blame Bush all over again and re-live your freakish fantasies about America's demise at the hands of your terrorist heroes. *Rolleyes*
Like the Americans on the flight, perhaps????
I saw it last night. To me, it was a tribute to the American spirit and very empowering.
"This says something about drama’s almost mystical power over the human psyche. For some elusive reason, a well-told story can be unbearably, painfully, excruciatingly real."
Unbelievable! I cannot even comment on this inane statement. Geeeeeeze!
No doubt they'd prefer a Religion of Peace "crockumentary."
that's a hell of a statement...speak for yourself...
I lost a good friend on 9-11: http://www.9-11memorialanthonyks.org/josephspor.htm
I am still pissed off to no extent about what happened...I won't see the movie out of fear I'll do something really stupid afterwards like choke the sh!t out of the first muslim I see...or at least spit in their face (the best way to stay out of trouble is to avoid it altogher)...
maybe someday downstairs on my dvd player- but not now in a movie theater...
Saw it. It is a tough film to sit through. And it goes without saying that mushy Americans would rather live in denial rather than live with the way it was.
A documentary about the actual towers that showed the number of people who jumped would be even more upsetting. It's much better for mushies to forget the whole thing and move onto important things like Impeachment.
Let me clue you in on something: if September 11 is revisited by the American people, there would be no Impeachment.
Tacoma News Tribune, 2010: "Though feelings have finally healed from the WTC attacks and we can now see United 93, we must now wait until the nuclear fallout settles from the latest attack on New York before reviewing the next documentary. Please bear with us."
Well put. They think if they just don't think about 9-11 again, maybe it won't happen again.
So you went and saw it? We intend to.
Hmmm. Perhaps they are afraid that President Bush's approval rating will increase if everyone were to see this movie.
Thats because they are cowards
How quick you are to jump on the bandwagon that Americans are cowards. Clearly, lots of Americans ~are~ seeing the film, as their own math makes clear: "Somebody bought tickets".
Liberals who don't want to have to make the tough choices Flight 93 puts before us are the ones who don't want to see the film. They aren't ALL of America.
I saw it last weekend.
It's everything that everybody except for the Trib Editorial board, says it is. They're the ones that really should go see it, because even after all this time they still don't get it and obviously never did.
They still think 9/11 is about grieving.
More than anything it is about courage... the courage to do what must be done when nothing else can be done.
Amen!!! Also brings to light even more that liberals cannot, cannot face reality.
It seems "Americans" are more interested in potty jokes about the holding tanks on RV's (as I heard one TV host refer to this movie)than they are about 9-11.
Tacoma. Seattle's smaller, dumber brother.
