all i can say is wow. that was a powerful film. no patriotism, no propaganda, no blame, no bias, just a pure human drama. if your heart is not pounding during the final scene (despite knowing the outcome) then you have no soul

I rooted for the terrorists.

It's impossible for a film to be free of bias

4/18/2007 12:18:56 AM

How would my heart be pounding? I knew the plane was going down. That's like saying your heart was pounding towards the end of Titanic.

It's a good movie, but it's not some kind of thriller.

4/18/2007 12:20:31 AM

i didnt mean in a thriller sense i meant in a human compassion sense

4/18/2007 12:21:12 AM

i got teary eyed

My heart was pounding at the end of titanic.

regardless of knowing the outcome, you are still nervous at the tense scenes.

If you feel like you wont get excited during a movie because you know the outcome, then why go.

why make a movie about titanic, everyone knows what happens, so why even bother?

I didn't go: it was on TV.

I didn't say re-enactment movies have no value. They can make me feel lots of things: just usually not suspense.

that movie saddened me

and angered me


at the same time


again

4/18/2007 1:55:59 AM

how do you make a movie thats over an hour long about something that took place in 20 minutes or less?


never saw the film and i don't plan on wasting my time to watch it.

^In other words you have nothing to contribute to this thread, but you were compelled to justify this by insulting a movie you haven't seen. I'll answer your question though...there was more than one point of view, and more than one setting. It wasn't just a story through the eyes of one person in realtime.

Anyway, this was the best 9/11 film imo. I agree with Vulcan91 that it's impossible for a film to be completely objective, but I didn't think any bias go in the way of the movie.

4/18/2007 2:58:10 AM

Stop it.

i dont know i just dont wanna see it, i dont know why,

5/6/2007 12:21:55 PM

shit was boring

watching news footage of the planes hitting the towers is more powerful (not to mention entertaining) than this piece of shit

world trade center sucked too

I never said I didn't like the fucking movie. I just wasn't surprised or on the edge of my seat when the plane crashed. I still thought it was sad.

The last 45 minutes were pretty good.

overall it was better than i would have expected.

5/6/2007 1:24:06 PM

their heart was pounding b/c of a tense situation not b/c of suspense

5/6/2007 1:28:38 PM

shit was intense.

5/6/2007 2:13:06 PM

i heard the sequel was supposed to be even better

5/6/2007 2:17:07 PM

lol

5/6/2007 2:26:18 PM

The tv movie youre referring to is a different movie altogether.

5/7/2007 12:07:32 AM

What?

The one I saw definitely was United 93. They're showing it on HBO now.

5/7/2007 12:22:06 AM

I made the mistake of watching it before I was to take a 4hr flight. I was a little nervous getting on the plane.
