Just been to see this film and I must say that it was amazing. Both men and women were in tears at the end, and I was choked.

The film itself was subtley made, excellent performance and concentrated as much as possible on documented fact but by the reaction it gave me and seemingly other people it made me realise just how much empathy we still have for 9/11 and how we suffer from information overload on the issue.

Ultimately I never want anyone to get the oportunity to do that again, and realised just how brave the people on flight 93 were...
 
I saw this a few weeks ago, decent movie. Not much point in crying, we all know the ending anyway. What I didn't like is that it seemed like it was produced on the cheap to be honest but gets the message across.
 
This is one film I've promised myself to make time to see, the movie review guy on Jo Whiley's show was adamant that it was an extremely good film.
 
I saw advert for another World Trade Center Film with N. Cage in ... wiered how they bring two films at nearly the same time about it
 
Will it still be showing on the 19th? I'll only have two smaller exams after that(with a 7day gap so it's fine).

I'd really like to see it, but GCSEs are on pretty much every day until then and I don't really want to go in the middle.
 
I really struggled to emphasize with it, so surreal to imagine it actually happening in real-life, I couldn't grasp it! :confused::( It was very moving but It felt detached to me. I almost feel bad for saying it.

exactly....

to drum up public hatred towards muslims in time of need to get support for another war

Or it could be to show what these poor ******** went through in their last minutes alive.
 
we saw this last week - it's a good film - apparently the guy who 'played' the guy who grounded all the flights is actually the guy that did it in real life.

As for the film itself - there's a hell of a lot of artistic licence in there as there's no one around to say exactly what happened on that plane. It's very good though, I'd recommend anyone seeing it.

Royality : don't worry I know exactly what you mean. I'm the same - it's your brain's self-defence mechanism - doesn't allow you to 'believe' that it's real. It's perfectly normal :)
