More Hollywood rubbish.

The Discovery Channel did an excellent, detailed 2 hour reconstruction of this... I don't know what it was called though, but this movie is going to be the usual over-dramatisatised, sensationalist, melodramatic crap. I wouldn't be suprised if in the movie, the passengers land the plan successfully at JFK after killing all the hijackers using martial arts.

Dont really want to see this, still think its wrong.

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

it was only a matter of time - everyone knew it would eventually happen. and to make it 'ok' to produce, I'm they'll use the excuse that 'it's in the loving memory of those who lost their lives because they believed in freedom'.

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

There have been many films about horrific events. There is nothing to this that makes it disrespectful to the dead.

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

True, though it could be argued it is a little early still.

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

I don't think there is anything disrespectful about making a movie about 9/11, but I think if the movie makers twist the events of flight 93 for 'entertainment' purposes, then I think that would be very disrespectful to those who died, and their relatives.

If there was some someone having an affair, and that was part of the movie, then I think that could be very hurtful and spiteful, so i'd like to see that left out.

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

I thought the film following the NY fire crew that was one of the first on the scene was very moving, and was worth watching. I can't remember what its title was, but it was released on the 1st anniversary of 9/11.

I don't think I will be watching this one though.

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

There needs to be other ways, more entaining ways, to tell a story of what happened. It will never be 100% historically correcct but as long as it sticks quite close to the truth then it can be a good way to tell the story.

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

oooh, like his historically accurate JFK for example. What great conspiracy theory is going to come into this one? That there was no plane at the Pentagon, just a missile?

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

United Airlines Flight 93 was the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

I wish the money from this film was going to chrities or to people who got injured or lost love ones in the disaster........But I'm sure thats not very likely to happen and some huge producer and film company will rake the money in instead. :(

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

There have been films about the Holocaust, WW2, Wars and so on.

Many of these have been classics some are even required viewing for some educational purposes.

Are we objecting to the idea of the film? or we objecting to a bad implemention of that idea?

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

Sorry, wrong conspiracy - it was shot down on orders of the president.

Implementation. There have been some very good documentaries on this - why the WTCs shouldnlt have fallen down (structure held - JETA weakene etc). Mr Stone is not best known for sticking to the facts - JFK being a good example.

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

Well, then I think we should wait until these films are released and judge them then :)

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

I thought one of the documentary channels already did a dramatisation of this flight?

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

oh wicked! :)
i wonder how it ends? :D

an good to see the americans making money out of the murder of 1000s of innocent people. :disturbd:

wonder if theyll make a follow up!! :td:
or maybe a movie of the july bombings in london, bruce willis could play blair.

Does the thoughts of the living family members mean anything to you?

maybe someone should make a movie of the IRA bombing at canary warf or manchester, or any of the other uk bombings that killed many uk people.
id watch those forsure.:D

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

There is nothing new about hollywood making films about real life events and disasters.

Re: Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)
 

There was a very good drama-documentary on this recently - i.e. a dramatised version of events, interspersed with interviews of relatives of the victims.

It pieced together what is likely to have happened on the flight, leaving out only the final second which, caught one the cockpit voice recorder, must have been harrowing stuff.

I don't think a Hollywood film could do this any more justice.

Usually either because they form accurate depictions of the events to be a valuable history resource.

Or because some of them are stark reminders of the Holocaust - and to understand it, with a view to ensuring that future generations won't allow it to happen again.

In this case, I'm not sure what the history lesson is.
I'm not objecting to anything, yet. I have no idea how it will turn out.

But, I suspect the film will either over-play the 'heroism' of the passengers, or make their actions look anything except the acts of desperation in the face of death, which is what they were. That will build up some people (e.g. the guy that is supposed to have said "let's rock & roll") and by necessity of the medium of film, it will ignore others, whose part may have been just as significant.
And if there are glaring inaccuracies, then it will be nothing more than making entertainment out of a tragedy caused by terrorism.
