Great Movie...

Rating: 9/10 (1 September 2006)

I didn't think this movie played on the pain of the family as hugodinwitty has stated. This movie is NOT about 9/11 as a whole...and Oliver Stone never wanted it to be a movie about 9/11 as a whole. With everything that happened that day and the amount of tragedy that occurred that day, it would impossible to make a movie about 9/11. This was a movie about two Port Authority guys and their families. If you are looking to get more out of the story...that isn't what the movie is about. It depicts the story of what two survivors experienced when the WTC got hit and when the towers fell. It doesn't even show the actual plane hitting the buildings because once again this is what the two Port Authority guys experienced...not the entire story of 9/11. I think the movie was well done and it made the tragedy even more real for me when you see these guys and their families go through what they do. I actually went to the Port Authority memorial website and saw the rest of the guys who were part of this tragedy who did not survive and you realize that this is more than a just a movie. I truly appreciated how delicately Oliver Stone handled this movie. We will never forget.
