Just one of those films

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2007)

I was only 11 at the time of the terrorist plane crashes, and although at the time I remember being transfixed to the t.v after school (and with time differences, the events had all ready mostly happened by then - ) the shock never hit me, as I was an 11 year old kid who had never even heard of the Twin Towers before. I've of course learnt lots since then, but the events of September 11th have sometimes faded into a political mire.
This film was fantastic as it brought the events rushing to my mind and my heart properly for the first time. I actually shed a tear at its conclusion, and I don't do that very often. I recommend this to anyone who wants a film that will make them remember and think - it is nothing to do with politics, pro-Americanism, anti-Americanism it is just simply a tale of heroism and tragedy.
The only minor quibble I have is the rumoured role of the "coward" German - something which I really hope was not intentional as it would mire what was otherwise an account completely neutral to the political debates which followed.
