OT: United 93 -- WILL YOU BE SEEING IT?

<< < (9/14) > >>

Well, I burst into tears yesterday while watching the commercial. Not that the ad was that effective, but that thinking about that flight in particular always gets to me. I wasn't sure I wanted to see it dramatized.

So I was on the fence. I thought I'd read a few reviews before deciding. The New Yorker one was glowing. And now, the a recommendation from RT, someone I actually know (sort of) and whose opinon I respect, I'm leaning toward going.

This is a hard one, but yes, I am going to see this in the theaters.

I heard this review on NPR this morning - positive, yet mixed.  I thought it was interesting information about the film-making being focused toward a 'group protagonist' by using unknown actors to blend with the real-life people involved.  It mentions how drama requires well-defined protagonists (Jack and Ennis, for instance) to resonate with an audience.

Can I ask a question?

Was there no a tv mini drama thing on ABC or something that also covered the washington flight?

When i was in Cuba in Feb they had all these american cable channels and I remember watching a chat show that was interviewing all the actors and some relatives of those the actors were playing.. and they were all talking about how great and piognant it was.. I was sure it was for a tv drama/documentary... but I may be wrong.. but it seems a bit early for it to have been the film

If so, what type of reaction did it get?

I am undecided whether I'll see it..but I have till Sept to decide...

The Wall Sreet Journal this morning contains an excellent, insightful review.

Just at FYI.
