What a completely inspirational view of 9/11!

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2006)

I expected another cheesy, overdone and exploited movie about 9/11. But what a sensational surprise! Yes, it had to show the tragedy of that horrible time in NY, but that was not the focus of the movie. I went in with about half a box of tissues in my purse expecting another sob story view, but none the less, I felt compelled to view it as the fifth anniversary is approaching. Much to my amazement, I only needed one tissue for tears of joy, and a few moving moments.
The story of these two gentlemen should be an inspiration to all of us who have ever felt like we cannot go on another day, much less a moment in time. I became physically disabled on 8/1/01 after a back injury. After several surgeries, and a broken hip too, I really have begun to question my mortality and the reason for my life of pain. I am now only 41 with an 18 yr. old son and a 14 yr. old daughter. After seeing this movie and learning more about these two courageous gentlemen, I no longer feel sorry for myself or my situation. I feel very lucky to be alive and spared the horror and agony that they have faced. Believe me when I say that this movie has done more "therapy" for me than anything I could ever do or any medication! And yes, I realize there are many other stories as compelling as theirs, but this is just about their story.
GO SEE IT!!!! You will leave the theater with sadness for all of those we lost that agonizing day. But you will feel inspired to be a better person and love life every single day and treasure what you do have......not what you do not have or you have lost!!
