Heartbreaking, but necessary!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2006)

There has been much debate on whether or not there should be films about 9/11 so soon. I believe that it is important to have films that tell the stories about what happened on that day. We all have our memories of that day, we all remember how we felt. This film is a masterpiece, it captures the horror and confusion that was felt on that day without being manipulative or exploitative. The central event of course is the hijacking of United 93, but it isn't a typical made for TV style film in that it doesn't focus on characters. We don't get to know any of the passengers, the film is in the moment. It doesn't make any political statements, it is about the tragic day that will be part of out collective memories, it is right to have films like this. We need to be reminded of our past , no matter how horrible.
