Flight 93 The Movie (9/11)

[Xaccers]

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

oh wicked!
i wonder how it ends?

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

wonder if theyll make a follow up!!
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.

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

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.
