So exciting 93

Rating: Null/10 (23 January 2009)

I really love this film because if you really watch it closely, you'll realize that it's not the usual good guys vs bad guys scheme. On the contrary, it's the tale of a bunch of men who are ready to give their own lives, to sacrifice themselves for their ideal. Their cause. I speak of the terrorists, of course. They are not just killers, bloodthirsty criminals.
The films describes very well the terrific face to face between those men and the passengers of the 93. Ordinary people, like you and me, not heroes, who suddenly realize that their plane will be used as a gigantic weapon, more, as a monstrous shell against some federal building, or something like that. The passengers who have just heard of the twin towers destruction. Passengers who are liquefied in horror.
Passengers who decide to fight for their lives. To the death if necessary.
Passengers who decide to take control of the plane, one of them who had learned plane monitoring in the past. They hoped to land the Boeing in a field, for instance.
Passengers who did not know themselves a quarter of an hour ago !!
So, we are far from the "clichés" the journalists gave us, when they told that the courageous passengers gave their lives so that the 93 doesn't crash on the White House ...
Rubbish.
