I was just talking to someone else about that, wondering if the families approved... thank you, the ever informative, Me. \:D/

Indeed. Seems like people are sympathizing with the terrorists too often now days...

If the movie was made in an accurate, correct, and respecting manner, I'd like to see it.

Ditto to both of you. I'm not sure I'd really want to watch it, it was basically pure horror even for somebody outside America without having to see it on the big screen or as a movie.

But if it is accurate it can really show us how he people on the plane felt and stuff like that. As I said before I will probably try to watch it just because of it's significance.

Here's a trailer that doesn't require Quicktime

And here's a "Behind the Scenes" clip

I personally don't think that I'm going to be watching this movie. At least not for a couple of years. It takes me an incredibly long time to get over things like this. I'm just still too scared, I guess, which is pretty stupid, but it happens to me a lot. Like, when a guy in my 7th grade class got hit by a car and died, I couldn't even go to the funeral, becuase I was so freaked out about the whole thing...

I know their quest is to make it as accurate as possible, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be. I think it's only supposed to be as long as the flight was; a real time type of thing.

It looks interesting.

Well like with The Passion sometimes it is necessary.

It looked interesting... when I first saw the preview, I thought, "Hm... that just might be the first R-rated movie I go to without a parent." (The only other R-rated movie I've seen in its entirety was The Passion.)

Is it rated R? I didn't know about that... For violence, ya think?
I'll probably see it... Maybe by myself, so I can bawl by eyes out! :anxious:

The movie is to serve as reminder to why US troops are still in Iraq. Good timing I must say.

I know some of you aren't wild about PI, but regardless, here is their review. After reading it, I've decided I'm not ready to see it, and here is why:
Watching it (and well after), I felt the same sense of shock and numbness that gripped me then.
I felt that way just reading through the review.

It does have a LOT of cussing as people react. There is the violence going on as well. Very moving and powerful.

I'll probably see it when it comes out on DVD. As some of you have already mentioned, the film serves as a good reminder of the acts of courage and sacrifice during 9-11. Nobody thought they could make movies or documentaries about the Holocaust, and yet many people have been touched by the stories surrounding those terrible times.

ok .. I didn't look close enough...delete my topic :anxious:

I was afraid it would turn into a politically influenced movie about how we could have preventef it, and how the adminstration didn't their jobs, and so on and so forth. Think Michael Moore. I hope it is a good movie..
