Propaganda Film

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2009)

I watched this movie years ago before I started to listen to conspiracy theorists and then did my own research.
If you take facts from a Hollywood movie and an administration that have been caught lying about WMD, scapegoat Bin Laden, the anthrax scare, illegal torturing, etc. -- then you're living in a fantasy world.
Notice how Bush, Cheney, and many of his supporting puppets, like Giuliani, can't keep up with their lies. Their lies are clearly on tape numerous times when they are interviewed. They will simply deny the truth just like people who don't question anything about 9/11.
The fact is, it's not only "conspiracy theorists" wanting the truth just because (according to anti-truthers) "they just crave attention". Many family victims and soldiers fighting in Iraq question 9/11. People that easily accept the government's story cover up are the ones who are going against all the people that died in vain.
What are we fighting for? For our safety? How odd that our country, considered to have the best defense in the world, and a building called the Pentagon, undeniably having one of the top securities/defense itself -- even when the whole nation is on alert and having very similar drills exactly an year before -- is still attacked by a group of "terrorists" said to be terrible pilots (could not even fly a single-engine plane, yet somehow pulled off impossible maneuvers at low altitudes with a 757, after supposedly knocking over poles); a "mastermind in a cave", are able to pull this off -- all on the same day. Yet, some people laugh more at the idea that it was a work of a CIA? Hmm. Many people know the name "Bin Laden" after 2001. It's become a household name. But you'd be surprised how many people, many of whom that just don't question, still don't even know that a third tower, World Trade Center 7, even collapsed; since it was not hit by a plane -- like controlled demolition. And if they don't know that much, they probably don't even know it was the headquarters of the CIA (among others, FBI, DoD...) When you really look at 9/11, there are smoking guns at every corner. Laws of physics being defied. No dead bodies at the scene. There are many questions unanswered, key witnesses mysteriously dying, evidences being hidden -- like many surveillance videos being confiscated showing no Boeing 757 -- yet it's more tragic that there are still people out there that don't question at all, and rather support towards shutting out the truth by supporting the government's story; or just simply lost interest all together because of other media distractions, such as more important things like, "Would Paris Hilton be okay in Jail?".
The fact of the matter is, saying it's a "conspiracy" is considered taboo, so people just shut them out right away. Some people just can't handle the truth. They rather live a lie and ponder over more: "Who would win the next American Idol?" I thought wow, United 93 is a powerful movie, especially the last few minutes. No question. It's a well-made fictional movie. But what this is, in end, is nothing but propaganda.
We mostly watch movies for entertainment -- to make us feel happy, laugh, and be sad, etc. -- and if you want entertainment to simply make you feel sad or angry, then this movie can be it. However, just keep in mind this is not a documentary, and if you feel anger after the movie, in reality, the people that we should be "mad as hell" at are not the "terrorists" depicted in this movie. We have traitors in our country committing mass murder and getting away with it.
Todd Beamer's "Let's Roll." (by the way, there is no recording of that account) -- it was the perfect heroic image the government needed, just like the Jessica Lynch rescue (it is a fact that the government/media manipulated that story). The "Bin Laden" image for the "terrorists" was also the perfect scapegoat. It is also sick that Todd's wife, Lisa Beamer, is capitalizing on her husband's death and catch phrase.
History repeats itself. Nazi's Enabling Act 1933 and Patriot Act 2001. Reichstag fire and 9/11. Scary, isn't? Take truth as the authority, instead of authority as the truth.
