Why Can't This Movie Just Be About Heroes To You?

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2006)

Why can't this movie just be about heroes? The ones that went in not knowing what to expect. I'm talking about the firefighters, police, medics, etc. The regular people who that day had no information to tell them who had screwed up. They had no information to suggest our government was evil. They also had nothing that said this was al-Qaeda or Saddam. All they knew was that people were trapped and needed to get out. And their lives depended on their willingness to help.
It's a story of heroes. There are no politics in this film. So drop the politics and let's talk about what it means to be a hero. Cause that's what makes September 11th so great. Sept 11th showed us what people can do in a time of struggle. And if I had to name one reason why I am proud to be an American, I would point to the unity that sprang forth on Sept 11th.
