Respectful, chilling, and powerful. No recognizable actors, and many people play themselves making the events and the reactions thereof completely real and shocking.

I think, even if I wanted to waste ten dollars on seeing this movie, I wouldn't be able to because I would be seeing it with my friends, and one of us would end up laughing and then we'd all be laughing and then, well... then we would be in a bad situation.

[Deepblue]

If you laugh during these movie I suggest you go to an insane asylum. Quite literally, you relive the events of 9/11 as they unfold from the perspective of the air traffic controllers and the passengers of Flight 93. There are no heroic speeches, no character development, you know as much about everybody as you would if you had boarded the flight with them. If you don't want to relive that day, you do not want to see this movie.

One question, are the terrorists properly portrayed?
For example, are the terrorists dumbfounded right as everyone's going to crash, having an "oh my god" moment, or are they all chanting to Allah and cheering and happy that they got to kill some innocent people?

[Ford Prefect]

See, the more serious it is, the lower the critical mass for laughter. It starts as just some idle remark that causes little more than a silent snort, but that's all it takes to open the door to the Id's dungeon and say, "Come on out!" And it does. Idle observations become inappropriate quips, which become elaborate jokes, and before you know it, we're convulsing violently to prevent the laughter from escaping. But probablilty dictates that before that movie is over, containment will fail.

It's a very unfunny movie. No irony, no innuendo. Just terror, hope, and courage.

@Nix. Yes.

Precisely. That's the point.

[Rictor]

First of all, dramatizing the events cheapens the events themselves. Secondly, it's already pretty apparent what this movie is going to be like, namely a star-spangled cliche. Hollywood has habit of making the same movie again and again but with a different superficial covering each time. Not to sound cynical, but what I expect is Million Dollar Baby plus plane plus terrorists.

Unless you do it like Fargo. That was awesome.

Now if they could mix in some Snakes.....

Now if they could mix in some Snakes.....

Why won't that joke just f***ing die already!!

Regarding the movie, how many 'roll-your-eyes pandering to the overly patriotic' scenes are there?

[Ford Prefect]

I'm gonna guess that you can probably figure that out by counting the number of scenes in the movie.

Touche

Sounds like watching a funeral.

"Honey, now we're up off the ground, I'm just going to nip to the loo.... for America"
"Ok, don't forget to wash your hands......for America"
"God bless this country, with our impeccable hygiene and airline toilets"
"Yes, god bless"
"oh, look, an Arab.  How lucky he must feel, to be..... in America."

Don't be so ****ing stupid.

The Saudi's only had knives. She'd've boxed the **** outta them.

[Deepblue]

All of you are a bunch of idiotic cynics. The movie DOESN'T FRACKING HAVE "PATRIOTIC" MOMENTS. THERE ARE NO SPEECHES. IT IS NOT STAR-STUDDED. MANY OF THE PEOPLE PLAY THEMSELVES. It is a record of, as accurately as possible, the events on United 93 as well as the air-traffic control center.

THERE IS NO BLOODY DRAMA. It's raw and unflinching, and it IS reliving the events of 9-11. It does not cheapen, unless you thought the events themselves were "cheap."

Bloody hell.

If this wasn't the internet, I would slap all of you.

And you would promptly get the **** kicked out of you by a large group of people who do understand what the term 'satire' means.

[Ford Prefect]

In all seriousness, I can believe that, but I just find the entire concept stupid. It's not even that it's about 9/11 in particular. I just find this whole genre of "re-living the event" films to be somewhat silly. What is anyone getting out of this? I suppose it just had to be made in the interest of general catharsis.

I think the really priceless one is going to be the other 9/11 film that's coming out. I have a feeling that's going to be rated PG for Patriotic Garbage.

[Kamikaze]

What a horrible excuse for a movie. The movie industry's taking money for stabbing the scabs that've formed over this whole 9/11 mess and watching them bleed. Can't we just move the **** on?
