like a superb documentary

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2019)

This"incident" was THE event of my lifetime...like WW2 or something on an unimaginable scale. I can't think of another film of it's type. It combines the best of "realistic' acting with the "you are there" feel of a documentary like few, if any, other movies.The title itself is a "spoiler".....we all know the story.......and since among its cast are actual personnel deeply involved on that awful day....it only adds to the sense of authenticity that continually charges this film to its inevitable climax...which is handled uniquely....in an understated way that lets the viewer fill in the blanks....like good literature that lets you project your own imagination into the description....and it magnifies the already enormous power of those moments......since that remark infers things I'll say this review contains spoilers.....
Intelligent movie-making from beginning to end......THE story of our lifetimes depicted in a very matter of fact and heart-rending way.....obligatory viewing as historic education, more then "entertainment."
