Is this movie necessary? Who in the hell is going to pay money to see this? We all know what happened and a Hollywood version is in poor taste in my opinion. I don't care if their donating proceeds from the first three days sales to the Flight 93 memorial fund. In my opinion, that's just a ploy their using to justify getting people to see this film. I know there was a made-for-TV movie on this already and I didn't care to watch that one, either. What is your opinion of this film? Should it have been made? Will you see it? I think the only people getting a kick out of this film are the terrorists. They will probably enjoy the hell out of it and use it as propaganda. As you may know, they were pulling the trailer out of NY theaters and rightly so. Are we at the point now were 9/11 is so far in the past that it's acceptable for Hollywood to make films about it? What's the point of sitting through it? To get a first hand perspective of what it's like to be the one directly affected in a terrorist attack? Thanks but no thanks. This film is not going to change foreign policy. The war on terror is ongoing and the terrorist are plotting more attacks on our soil. Are we going to make a film of each one? I guess so. Whether intentional or not, I think this is glorifying what happened. Sigh, Surf
I won't begrudge anyone making this movie, but I won't see it. I won't be seeing Oliver Stone's movie either. Living in New York at the time, I don't think I need to be reminded of that day.
I saw the trailer for this movie in an NYC theatre and some ppl began to boo and hiss. I then saw the trailer for this movie again in Houston, about a week ago, and ppl started to boo and laugh out loud. All in all from a movie perspective, this thing looks really crappy. I think they made something very similar to this on TBS or TNT a while back.
I once heard Michael Savage said Osama bin Laden attacked US because he hated Hollywood. So this must be it.
i just saw the trailer before inside man. didnt like it. ill bet you anything that much of it will be skewed in one way or another, and very little of the movie will be based on facts.
i think its necessary for this to be made. not this exact film, but atleast a film that reflects and reminds us all what happened that day. people say they don't need to remember it, but they're wrong. if you forget, it will happen again. the images of the towers falling, and people jumping out of buildings is exactly what needs to be shown, nightly. remind us all that there are people that want us dead. having said that, i won't see this movie cause it looks crappy. hopefully the oliver stone flick will be better.
I'd rather give the cost of the movie ticket to the homeless person panhandling at the nearest intersection. Help somebody and save myself any harm from the film.
I think it is a little too soon myself. We're not even five years from what happened that dreadful day. I also think donating proceeds from the first three days of the film's release is bull too. If you are really doing this for the victims and the families of those vicitms donate ALL the proceeds from the movie to the memorial, families, and other various people and places affected by the tragedy.
I think it is way too soon to release this type of film. Personally as a movie enthusiast, I will go see it just because I want to see how they bend this story. Sometimes, I like to watch bad movies just to see how bad they are. Is this weird?
I have a friend who does this. I always thought it a bit wierd to waste your money on a movie you have a general feeling is gonna be terrible.
I think it's going to pull in lots of money, despite the fact that most of you guys seem to be opposed to it. I think a lot of people will be drawn to it because they're intrigued by it. Capitalism baby, embrace it!
I respectfully disagree. All I need to do is visit the grave of a friend that died that day. I don't need to see it every night.
Its the same people who have made Pearl Harbor, Wild Wild West, Armageddon, Blair Witch Project, and the Scary Movie series box office hits. Don't feel too bad for them, they don't know any better.
That would be the PC thing to do. I really do think this movie will flop and I don't have an interest in seeing it either. Everyone knows the outcome of these events and I don't care about watching actors reinact them. I think a documentary would have been a better tribute to the people on this flight.
I dunno, I'm kind of curious to see his whole Jack Ruby/J. Edgar Hoover/Joe Pesci-with-crazy-eyebrows spin on it (not really, I actually think his movies prey on the historically ignorant, and academically lazy). Unfortunately, considering Farenheit 9/11, Farenhype 9/11, Hamburg Cell and others, I think the cat's already out of the bag. But, yeah, I probably wouldn't feel too good about myself noshing on my big cinnamon pretzel and 2 gallon "medium" coke while watching a 2 hour mass-murder re-enactment; even if, sadly, it's the defining moment of this decade, this century, and possibly most of our lives. However, if I was a high school history teacher 5 years from now, this, or some old news footage from that day, would pretty much be required viewing iin my class. It's probably also worth noting that several of the families were consulted in the making of this film. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12112802/site/newsweek/ Geez, how much would you give to go back in time six or seven years? Cash in the pets.com and Enron stock, double-check that punchcard voting ballot, those levees, that "buying uranium in Africa" rumor, and the foam on that shuttle; hire a few dozen Air Marshals, cancel that Christmas '04 Indonesian vacation...
