The most important movie I've ever seen...

Postby conversationpc » Sun Aug 12, 2007 1:09 pm

"United 93"

Just finished watching it about five minutes ago.

Found it on sale at Target for about $5. I'd wanted to see it at the theater while it was playing but didn't at the time for some reason or other.

All I can is wow. I've heard the stories of the folks that called their loved ones from the plane but hadn't seen this until now.

The only plane they actually show hitting its target is United Airlines flight 175, which is the second one to strike the World Trade Center.

If you haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend doing so.

Yeah, it gets you mad all over again.
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.

My sister (Torch) said it made her cry. I have kind of avoided it for that very reason. No doubt, it would make me sad and mad all over again.

It made me proud. I bought it at Blockbuster (on one of the 4 for $20 deals they had). Very moving and well done film. No name actors, very real, very moving.

Sadly, the film is just more right-wing propaganda. It's meant to make you angry all over again. Everyone knows Bush planned the 9/11 attack just to benefit his own political aspirations. Get a clue, people!

Please allow people their feelings (these are feelings they are expressing, not opinions) even if you do not agree with either.

Thanks. I would like this thread to just be about what happened that day in regards to this movie. Nothing more. No political debates, statements, etc.

YES!!! I've seen this, and I sat and cried for an hour..My heart broke, but, mostly, I was so proud of those people, that they kept a level head about them.
No one ever talks about them, and how brave they were!!!

That was one thing I noticed - no "big" name actors. I read Lisa Beamer's (Todd Beamer's wife) book. Absolutely amazing. A great read.

I have seen "Flight 93", which the A & E channel put out. I don't know if "United 93" is the same movie or not, but I remember one of the actors names in the first movie. It was Jeffrey Nordling. Does that name sound familiar to you, Dave? :?

Sallee, it's not the same movie. United 93 is most definitely a much better film, and well worth seeing.
