Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)

Five years on it seems that the movie world has decided that the time is right for 9/11 to be dramatised, with the release of Flight 93 on 28 April and Oliver Stone's The World Trade Center to follow later in the year.

They should be very powerful films.

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.

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'.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

United Airlines Flight 93 was the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania

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.

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?

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.

**Damien** · 07-02-2006, 23:23

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