OT: United 93 -- WILL YOU BE SEEING IT?
rtprod:
Juan,
I was blown away by specific scenes in this film, the rising dread as air traffic and norad discover what's happening on Sept. 11 nearly real-time, the complete helplessness of the passengers and the pandemonium that breaks out in the cabin, with a plane being flown at super-speed and far too low, utter chaos erupts when the hijack finally happens (an hour into the film) and the final attempted passenger coup...well, just see it. It is a classy film without an ounce of sensationalism, it simply mounts a terrifying episode with filmmaking economy and the emotions on that plane are just primal.

umm, probably not in the theatre, I have an aversion to flying anyway so when I find out a movie has something bad happening to the passengers (like turbulence or crashes etc) I tend to not want to see them - add to that the horror that plays in my mind regarding those terrorist-flown planes and what happended to all of them - let's just say, I'm real uneasy about seeing it visually.................

Sorry about your loss Amy.
Yes I will be seeing it, I actually don't really know everything about this particular story, and am interested in knowing more.

Sorry to hear that you lost two friends Amy. I only knew one person who died; we'd been out of touch but it was still shocking.
Interesting to be going back and forth between this thread and the one that's currently on Michael Moore. Maybe a documentary would have me more interested than a movie where it's assumed that some of the story is embellished for dramatic effect.

Thanks Brandon - it's OK, it's been some time, and I've made as much peace with 9/11 as I'm ever going to make.
I think United 93 is actually a good story to tell, I don't find the fact that they made this film offensive in any way, honestly, I hope it does do well - it has gotten good reviews, and I think the passengers deserve their story to be told.
For me, I think it's just one of those things I need to see alone, at home.
