I'm sorry but way to ruin a moment in history. People really do not need to make movies of every moment of sadness that has happened in America and exaggerate the situation

I feel like it's too soon to make a movie about 9/11. It's still raw with people. Look how long it took to have movies about WWII and other wars. JMO though.

Could somebody give me a review of the movie please? I felt things regarding that day were still a little too raw in my life for me to watch it just yet, but I would like to know how it was handled. If anyone would mind sharing??? Thanks! (post here or PM me...whatever)

Movies about World War II were being made during World War II.

Thank you, Kringas, that's exactly what I was going to write.

I work across the street, I have to block it everyday, having witnessed everything at the time. I have trip over tourists who are disappointed with their visits downtown,"This is so disapppointing. Theres' nothing to see."

The movie is supposed to be very good but I'll wait. As far as timing is concerned, it could be a matter of where you are now or where you were then.

I don't know, it isn't like we all don't have very vivid images in our head to this day. Do we really need a movie to remind us?

(This belongs off-topic board).

I just watched it. Parts were heartfelt. Others were melodramatic in a bad way. Parts were suspenseful in a good way.

Why make two different movies on Flight 93? That's ridiculous. I'm sure every studio will make a film about some aspect of the 9/11 tragedy.

Kringas, my wife and I talked about this tonight and we do not want to watch a movie about 9/11.

I almost flipped out when i saw a commercial for this..but nope, no cheyenne.

very sad movie

brdlwyr, I totally understand not wanting to watch and you shouldn't, if you don't want to. The fact remains though, that there is a market for it. Wasn't The Guys a somewhat critical success?

I personally saw the second plane into the Tower, I saw people coming out the windows, I saw both Tollapse. Real life, real time as did thousands of others.

But my Dad who survived the Holocaust watches every freaking Nazi/Holocaust movie.. So go figure.

At first I didn't think I was going to watch, but I did. I thought everyone involved did a fine job. Having temped at Morgan Stanley in the towers in the the early 90s, I have somewhat mixed emotions about these movies.

I have somewhat mixed emotions about these movies.

And you're not alone, as the sentiments on this thread can attest.

wexy's post really sums it up best. Two people experience two different tragedies and have disparate reactions.

Distance is generally required for perspective on something, and everyone reaches that distance at their own pace.

Do we really need a movie to remind us?

Of course not, but in the best case scenario (and believe me, I'm not suggesting that this A&E movie was great art) art derived from tragedy might teach us something.

If you don't want to be reminded, don't watch. I know I probably won't.

Plum, I am not scared of being reminded, I do not want to feel that day ever again.

It's still too soon for me and I was nowhere near it. I didn't sleep for about three days. My mother finally gave me valium and tried to have the cable turned off in my apartment. I think it's just a personal thing for everyone.
