Those are my opinions, but the movie did not support this view, nor did it dispute it.

How did the movie imply that the terrorists' actions were anything other than evil? True, the movie didn't use sinister music and camera angles to cast the villians in an evil light, but that's because there was no need to--their actions spoke for themselves.

Near the end, however, I think the producers clearly did show a good versus evil battle brewing when the passengers started praying in English and the terrorists in Arabic.

Anyone who could watch that film without being able to figure out who the good and evil people were has some pretty severe problems.

I agree with you insomuch as my own preception of good and evil are concerned.

I guess I feel about this movie as those who bitterly complained about Tora! Tora! Tora!

quoting from http://www.imdb.com re: Tora film:

"The film was considered a flop when it was released in the United States, but was a huge success in Japan."

I doubt those living in Japan in 1970 was cheering about the success of Evil.
