incredible, inspiring, yet almost too depressing to see twice

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2006)

Ill try to keep it brief. United 93 is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing films of the last decade. Complaints made about the actual story (I.E. "boring, not realistic, depressing") are completely irrelevant factors when reviewing the movie. Its a true story, the filmmakers aren't going to alter the story so you can be on the edge of your seat with excitement. having got that out of the way i'll move on the the actual movie. Just like most of the people who saw this movie (I imagine) i found it depressing beyond belief. the worst is that no matter how much you sit and hope or pray., you know the people wont live. you get that feeling of someone wrapping a belt around your gut and just pulling it tighter and tighter. the feeling doesn't go away, not even when the movie ends, not then and not a week later. This is not to say the movie is bad in any way. i believe it is something people should see even if they cant handle it. The part of this movie that struck me the deepest is the shot of the second plane hitting the tower. I'm going to end the review here, because i feel that i can not do the movie any justice by reviewing it with words. if you are truly interested, see it. thats really all i can say.
