definately not a movie i will go see.


also, if and when they make a movie of the retarded teen who went to iraq.. ill definately be avoiding that as well.  Unless they change it where he dies in the end.

I don't know.  I think that we all saw so much of 9/11 happening live, or have heard so much about what happened since then (Flight 93 specifically) that making a movie about any of it is simple exploitation.

I could be wrong, but that's my initial reaction.

That falls into my never seen any footage and never will category.

I am still amazed that to this day I have never seen any of the footage of that day.  I have seen the aftermath (the Pentagon and the WTC), but nothing else.

I wonder how many people like you there are.  I'll never forget that day, especially when people were jumping and it was shown and when the towers started to collapse.

all of it will be based on the very few calls made and anything if anything gotten off the black box. ( did they even find it)   those actual calls or BB info is the only actual events.. everythign else will be assumed bullshit.

I read an interview with the director, who seemed genuinely inspired to make a good, complex movie about the events specific to that flight.  About how people chose to deal with their circumstances.

Several cast and crew members reportedly had difficulties filming during the scenes with the plane going down.  They built a full fuselage and had it rigged so that it would shake violently to mimic what the terrorists were doing in the cockpit to get the passengers to settle down.

It's easy to see it as exploitation because Hollywood is funding it and distributing it and profiting off of it.  On the other hand, this is a director known for looking at the human side of sociopolitical events in his films. It's my belief, based of the interview I read with him, that he genuinely wants to make a good, serious, thoughtful film about the flight. 

I agree, though, that part of me feels it is too soon.

I'm betting Oliver Stone's film feels even more awkward.

Here's an interview with Paul Greengrass, the director:

tell me that he donates the profit after production costs to the families of those lost on that plane, and i will see the good side.

That's not his decision to make.  He only shoots the film, the studios control the profits.
