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.
I saw to movie too.
Let me say that right off the bat, I am not one of those conspiracy nuts. I do not believe the government lied to us, or in fact, did anything wrong. 9/11 happened out of a clear blue sky for all of us.
Although I marveled at the balancing act (almost near neutrality) between the terrorist and the passengers, I think that same balancing act kept me from getting any feel for who the passengers were as individuals. I really had more insight into the terrorist that anyone on the plane.
I also want to state a personal opinion. I think what the terrorist did that day was murder. I think it was evil from the beginning to the end. I think what the passengers did that day was courageous and good.
Those are my opinions, but the movie did not support this view, nor did it dispute it. I take issue with that kind of neutrality. Don’t get me wrong, I do not need a movie that only supports my views, however, on this day, and with these passengers, a stand must be taken.
btw, I think this movie will play very well in the Middle East.
