World Trade Center Excellent Job

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2007)

It has been six years since the disasters struck our soil. I happen to think of it every day. I know partly what it is like being in a skyscraper and having to face things like being stuck w/o a way out of a fire. I don't know if anyone remembers back in the 1980's a hotel fire in Las Vegas, NV at a hotel called MGM Grand. But I was vacationing with my parents and we heard this awful explosion and we were thrown to the floor. We escaped, but we were on the 24th floor of the hotel room part. It was smoky & scary for me then.
But this review is about World Trade Center. When I first heard Nick Cage was playing the part, I had dual thoughts; I'd see it because he was in it and at the same time did I want to cry my eyes out like I did when I watched Titanic? After waiting for the DVD to come out, I sat here on my computer and watched it.
I can understand the points of view from the survivors and from those two officers that were caught in the rubble. I also liked the fact of the DVD having the interview with the actual 2 officers. Cage does look like the one guy.
In the years since, a lot of patriotism has faded due in part to the ongoing war in Iraq. But when Flight 93 and this movie were created, it kind of can help put closure on things. But I think they should try to make a movie from inside the Pentagon's perspective. That's the only part of this sage that is missing.
It was not over-done. If anyone looks closely at the movie, like for example, some of the news footage is the actual stuff from what I can tell.
If anyone has not seen this movie, please do. It is very well done in my opinion. It sets into your mind what it is like knowing that everything you take for granted, including your loved ones, is given to you to hold dearly.
God Bless!
