<p>I was just wondering if anyone else watched it on A&E just now. I thought it was a wonderful movie. But does anyone know how factual it is?
Its on again in like an hour or two if anyone missed it... I recommend watching it.</p>
<p>I wanted to watch it, but I can't. I also can't watch United 93, (I can't recall if that's the name, the new 9/11 movie that came out).
I think it's way too soon for that movie to have been made, and wounds are still too fresh. It seems like expoitation... at least in my sore opinion.</p>
<p>I agree jesminder. I haven't seen it- it's not the type of movie I like to watch in public. Much like schindler's list or saving private ryan, it's something that I like to be more personal than just a nice night out at the movies.</p>
<p>I live about 30 minutes from NYC and was personally affected by 9/11 in terms of family friend dying...that being said, I thought United 93 did an EXCELLENT job and leaving that movie for some reason reaffirmed my belief that there is good in this ****ed up world.</p>
<p>one person in the theater laughed when the planes hit the WTC...</p>
<p>at the end of the movie, most people were completely silent</p>
<p>Just an interesting fact about Schindler's List: Steven Spielberg refused pay as the director of the film.</p>
<p>Anyway, I also think it's too soon to have a film of that nature.</p>
<p>i don't think i could see it... i mean, to go into it knowing that everyone will die. i couldn't handle sitting there and getting to know these people and to identify with them to know that they will die, and that they did die. i think it is way too soon. i would probably burst into tears in the middle of the movie. (a close friend died in NY- she was on vacation with her family when it happened)...</p>
<p>I feel that yes, it is a very emotional movie. But I hope it will remind the people who forgot (because you know there are some!!!) about the terrible tragety that the taliban put our country through... Maybe our country can put on a more united front, as it did in the days following 9/11 and stop being so politically divided. Because the majority of us want the same result in the end... A safe place to raise our future families and build our lives</p>
<p>right. the taliban. not the nation of Iraq.</p>
<p>that is when this country became divided.</p>
<p>The only factual part in that movie was the fact that some kind of aerospace vehicle slammed into the ground in Philadelphia. Take the rest with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>4, nearly 5 years later, no one has "forgotten" that it happened, this is simply a way to make money, and I think it's disrespectful.</p>
<p>pang...they found the black box of the flight and there were a ton of phone calls from people on the plane to their families.</p>
<p>It was odd because it was being shown on TV on TBS last night. I was dumbfounded because it still was in the theatre. I thought the acting was really bad, but the basic plot of the story to be chilling.</p>
<p>the idea that people are making money off of this is sickening</p>
<p>Justinian I, the movie in theatres is in United 93. They are two completely different movies about the same subject.</p>
<p>schindler's list was made in 1993.
the holocaust occurred approximately 50 years before that, and still it was still hard to swallow for many.</p>
<p>now this, in just 5 short years? granted, the scope of the holocaust is many times bigger than the 9/11, but i agree that it's still too soon to be releasing this.</p>
<p>Pan: I like your document cites other dumb conspiracy sites like WhatReallyHappened and ITSELF as a source. No thanks.</p>
<p>Bah, believe what you want. Just don't come crying to momma when it turns out to be true & you're caught with your pants down.</p>

<p>I agree and I live/was over 2,000 miles away, and have no personal relationships with anyone involved. I don't think Hollywood should be recreating this stuff for a few decades at least.</p>
<p>Someone posted what I couldn't have said better, Pan (keep in mind they were AIR PHONEs, not CELL PHONES, idiot.)</p>
<p>Facts are facts. If the government had something -- god knows what -- up their sleeves in their micro-managing four phony hijackings;</p>
<p>and if they had been able to micro-manage those final phone calls within the plane;</p>
<p>and if after the fact they got the press to report them as "cell phone" calls;</p>
<p>...would it really make a difference in the basic truth that four Arab hijackers on a jihad commandeered Flight 93 five years ago?</p>
<p>I don't think so. Seriously. Does anyone here doubt that Ziad Jarrah, Saeed Alghamdi, Ahmed Alnami and Ahmd Alhaznawi were responsible for hijacking Flight 93??? Because if you do, you've got to conjure up a whole lotta "yeah-buts" to explain away the cockpit recording.</p>
