Wonderfully Produced

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2006)

This movie was hard for me to go see. 9/11 was an awful, heartbreaking day to me not just as an American, but as someone who lost family in the World Trade Center. I debated with the question 'is it too soon?' and decided that I had to go anyway. The emotion that this film brings out is unlike any other I've ever seen, with the exception of Schindler's List, which I didn't see in theaters. The events of the day are tastefully re-created, and even though you know that the shadows and sounds are planes, you aren't forced to watch the impacts again. The story of the policeman and their families is gut-wrenching, and brings tears to the eyes, and the sheer joy of watching them rescued in indescribable. A lot of evil took place that day, but this movie reminds us that an awful lot of good did, too. Mankind witnessed both on 9/11 and everyone should go see this movie....because we should never forget what happened to us on that fateful day.
