The best movie so far this year and the most devastating movie this decade.

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2006)

This movie is not easy to sit through first and foremost. The same felling that overcame people who saw the Passion of the Christ could be felt here. The only thing different is that in the Passion of the Christ you felt manipulated into the feelings because of the blood and horror. This movie tells it like it was and you make your own feelings from the intense emotions on screen and in your self.
The movie is made with great respect towards all those connected to that day. There is absolutely no exploitation going on and the movie has the respect not to offer any personal commentary on politics into it. United 93 chronicles the time that the flight was boarded to the tragic end. The movie cuts from the United flight to different Air Traffic Control centers and to the military control. Some of the high officials where kind enough to play them selves in the movie. There is no real star power which really helps make the movie feel even more realistic. You can tell while watching the film that the creators really took there time to fact-check many details to present it with much fascination info from behind the scenes. As I watched the film I could hear the sniffles, sobs, and other sad noises from the audience. The thing that amazed me is that no one in the theater left, nor did they make much noise in what I feel was much respect for the film and subject.
If this film were released last year I would make the argument that it could have walked off with the Best Picture Oscar. While the events in the film were not that long ago and some might say that it is to soon, to that I say this film pays great honor to all those involved with that horrifying day and will inform more upon the tragic flight and the people behind the scenes trying to figure out what was going on. The movie is a heart breaking docudrama that with the up most responsibility accomplished a great feat in the history of film.
(This movie covers September 11th through the air, look for Oliver Stones "World Trade Center" movie in August that will tell the story of two police men from inside the World Trade Center ruble.)
