there is another one tho, not just about the planes??

Kelly1978 · 31/08/2006 19:41

flight 93 is about another flight on the same day which was successfully rerouted through the actions of the paSSANGERS and failed to reach it's target. there is another 9/11 film that my bil has seen which is only released in the US atm, which I think is mreo centered around the twin towers planes.

desperateSCOUSEwife · 31/08/2006 19:41

sad coz you already know the end
but very good
it has real empathy iykwim

I haven't seen it yet, but the reviews I read all seemed to indicate that it is a heart and gut wrenching experience. It definitely hasn't been hollywoodized. It got brilliant reviews.

desperateSCOUSEwife · 31/08/2006 19:41

the new one is called world trade
just released in us

Tinker · 31/08/2006 19:42

It's excellent.

lol moo, I kept saying it United instead of Flight

Kelly1978 · 31/08/2006 19:42

Why are there two? Paul Greengrass is the director I've read about - it was all improvised, wasn't it?

Kelly1978 · 31/08/2006 19:42

bil said world trade center was eccellent.

Kelly1978 · 31/08/2006 19:43

marthamoo, they are very diff stories really. flight 93 was far less publicised, I was actually on the edge of my seat, as i DIDN'T know the ending

So flight 93 is the one I want to see..??

I remember watching the tv docu "the falling man". DH & I had to watch it over a few days. I felt so drained watching it..

Oh at least I'm not so morbid as dh tells me..! There's plenty who have watched it and who want to watch it..! LOL.!

Kelly1978 · 31/08/2006 19:47

When 9/11 happened, amid all the feelings of horror I remember idly thinking "I wonder how long until they make the film?" (Don't tell me you didn't too.) (*)

Part of me actually thought at the time it would be impossible - that America would never recover emotionally enough to have that distance from the subject material. It was already like some sort of perversion of a Jerry Buckheimer movie anyway. One where the good guys don't win.

Of course, I should have known. And there was a part of me which said "five years".

(*) I'm currently having similar thoughts about another news item which is on the cover of the Express every day, and which I am not going to mention by name because this place goes ballistic every time....... (Robson Green. Sarah Lancashire. ITV, on a Sunday, 9pm.)
