UntamedDOG 0 #1 January 16, 2006 It’s been just over 4 years and already, Hollywood is cranking out a movie about 9/11 called "Flight 93" http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/01/movies/01timm.html?ex=1293771600&en=f5a28a31bbbc6611&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss Does anyone really need to see this movie? Is it me, or is this whole project in bad taste? It just goes to show, nothing is sacred. I have no desire to relive this horrible tragedy.

quade 4 #2 January 16, 2006 I dunno. It all depends on how the movie is made. Ever see Tora, Tora, Tora or Saving Private Ryan? How about Schindler's List or Life is Beautiful? Just because the story is about a real life tragedy, doesn't automatically mean it's disrepectful.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UntamedDOG 0 #5 January 16, 2006 QuoteEver see Tora, Tora, Tora or Saving Private Ryan? How about Schindler's List or Life is Beautiful? The difference is the timeframe. Schindlers List and Saving Private Ryan were made about our grandparent’s generation. 2 generations down the line. Perhaps a movie released on the 10th anniversary would be more palatable. That way, the kids who were too young to remember 9/11 can see what happened and understand it. Right now, it feels like 9/11 happened yesterday. We have no perspective yet. The period in history hasn’t played itself out yet. You want to play the devils advocate? OK! Yes, you can make your movie, and make millions exploiting these events for pure profit. That doesn’t mean I appreciate the history lesson. It is almost insulting to make a movie this soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexCrowley 0 #11 January 16, 2006 The Deer Hunter was released 6 years after the end of the Vietnam war. Movies have always been art for profit or the artists drop dead of starvation and don't produce any more art. It is naive to believe otherwise, but that does not mean that it has no value beyond financial. Without seeing the finished product it's tough to say how the movie is going to turn out, but given the psyche of the country I'd imagine it will be respectful if the director expects to retain all of his limbs and life after the movie's public release. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is about the first bombing in the early 90's. The last line in the movie is with the terrorist looking at the twin towers and says "Next time we will bring them both down!" Freaked me out, the first time I saw it was after 9/11. Freaky sh#* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ccowden 0 #14 January 16, 2006 QuoteIs it me, or is this whole project in bad taste? It just goes to show, nothing is sacred. Probably not half as bad taste as "The Ringer." Nothing sacred indeed when an entire movie is made to make fun of people with a handicap. I doubt "The Ringer" is very funny to someone who has to live with that handicap everyday of their lives. It would be like making another "Airplane" movie and centering the comedy around the 9/11 tragedy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Douva 0 #20 January 16, 2006 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I love how shortsighted Americans can be in the midst of a tragedy. I remember all of these Hollywood execs and entertainment professionals saying just after 9/11 that there would never be a 9/11 movie because the subject is just too real and too personal to America. I laughed and assured anyone within earshot there would be a 9/11 movie within ten years.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

SpeedRacer 1 #21 January 16, 2006 I don't see what's so "fucked up" about it. Flight 93 was the one in which the passengers rose up & fought against the terrorists, preventing the plane from reaching Washington. It all depends on how the movie's done. I don't see how anyone could pre-judge this as being fucked up without having seen it first.

briguy 0 #22 January 16, 2006 i didn't say it was f-ed up, i just don't want to watch it. Watching the trailer, I kept waiting to hear "let's roll". i don't need a movie to relive that morning. i remember EXACTLY where I was when I heard about the first plane collision. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UntamedDOG 0 #23 January 16, 2006 Quotei don't need a movie to relive that morning. i remember EXACTLY where I was when I heard about the first plane collision That’s how I feel about it. What could possibly be told about flight 93 that is not already known. Anything added in this movie is pure speculation. I can already tell by the trailers that it will be a manipulative, over dramatized, sappy tear jerker. I really hope people aren’t interested in rushing out to see this movie when it opens. It doesn’t really matter to me if the movie is good or bad. I just feel wrong about walking up to a ticket booth and paying 10 bucks to see something that is a total fictionalization of the true events. Do I want to see a director’s interpretation/fantasy? If the director knows something about what happened on that plane, the public should not have to pay for that information. Maybe I’m giving Americans too much credit. We are the stupidest people on the planet. I hope this movie is a blockbuster smash that wins an Academy award!!!!! YA DUDE!! 9/11 ROCKS!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
