No, I believe the director made the movie in a way that allows terrorists to believe that they had a victory. That makes it a bad movie.
But remember what kind of stupid people we're dealing with.
Last week, when that idiot got life after fighting for the death penalty, he then declares victory.
"I meant for you to do that!"
Stupid people believe that everything supports their ideas and actions. A stupid man hitting on a woman who slaps him thinks she's just playing hard to get.
You can't worry about what stupid people think.
Well... try this on for size then: 9/11 *was* a victory for the terrorists. They won the day. They brought down the World Trade Center and took out a huge section of the Pentagon. As missions go, it was a raging success for them.
Just as Pearl Harbor was a victory for the Japanese Navy.
Should the film have denied this? Of course not.
What Flight 93 represents however is the first return of fire. The first response to their attack. The first people to fully understand the nature of the day made a courageous decision to fight back. If this doesn't capture the basic true American spirit, in the face of evil, I don't know what does.
It's a story that needs to be told, and it was done just right in this film.
