OT: United 93 -- WILL YOU BE SEEING IT?
JCinNYC2006:
It's very hard to communicate this through writing without sounding insensitive or crass. I don't understand why there is a need to know what happened. I think the Slate article articulated my thoughts about it better than I can.
The stuff about trying to find something redemptive in the hijackings and the attacks to regain a sense of control. With a pointless war going on, I'm not really seeing much to be optimistic about. I'm really not trying to be provocative, I thinking out loud and the prospect of the movie freaks me out. But who knows, I may see it and change my mind. So far, none of my friends want to see it though.

I just saw it last night, my advice: Go see it. It was unlike any movie I've seen. It was really like you were you watching it as it was happening back on September 11th. It leaves you with a lot of respect for the passengers on 93, who gave their lives to save the lives of others, and stand up for their country.

I can't imagine how they did this after realizing the plane was on a kamikaze mission, but they did. They were driven by this unknowable force, an innate and primal drive to do what was "right" even though they likely knew the outcome. That fact that they did this in such a panicked rush without a clear strategy, under such duress, is really something.

I will be seeing the movie, hopefully some time this week. Since few materials were available on what exactly happened on the plane, I am interested in how they are going to tell the story.
kirkmusic:
There was a Rolling Stone article about the flight some years ago and it was an amazing story. Since the film is getting such great reviews I will be seeing it. I see anything that is so well received.
