In 2019, this movie still chills me to the bone

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2019)

I've tried to make it a point every Sept 11 to watch this film. I've missed doing this in 2017 & 2018, but I made it a point to watch this in 2019 with my wife. I remember where I was 9/11/2001, and this film does an amazing job capturing those emotions I felt on that day when I was 13 years old. My wife never saw this movie before, and she left crying, but did say it was a very beautiful tribute and extremely well written, and I couldn't agree more.
One thing she pointed out that I never paid attention to was that in the beginning there is no music (she is a musician, go figure lol). In the beginning you start off the movie like a regular day. Nothing out of the ordinary and it's just a normal day. The movie progresses in real time and as it moves along, the confusion, tension, and reality of what is going on slowly builds. Even though we know what will happen, we still can feel the confusion the country felt that day, and the frustration of knowing nothing can be done in the moment, even though everything was tried within their power.
The acting is superb! The terror in the passengers was just spot on. The hijackers were portrayed well. You could sense the utter hatred in the eyes of most of them. I know this is controversial, but I loved the portrayal of an almost sympathetic view of one of the hijackers (pilot). But during the movie, that view is pretty much shattered. No one person stole the show, the passengers that played the brave heroes of United 93 were amazing, every single one of them.
This movie is uncomfortable due to it's nature, but it is an amazing tribute to the brave souls that, even though they were mostly trying to save themselves, in turn potentially saved hundreds or perhaps thousands of lives. If you haven't seen this, please give it a watch and at least judge for yourself. This is an event that should never be forgotten and I hope we never forget the heroes on that day.
Also, I hope that someday we will remember how we were united on September 12. There were no Democrats and Republicans, Black or White, Gay or Straight, Atheist or Christian. We were American and united in peace. I pray we get to this point again as a country instead of giving the Terrorists victory in dividing our country from within.
