Personal Loss, Good Outcoming

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2006)

I am not good at writing these but I will try.
First off I would like to say that this move was a bit long but worth seeing. After having lost a family member and a friend to 9/11 I am happy to say that at least Oliver Stone's work has shown a joyful side of that day. He took a tragedy and made a welcoming happy ending out of it.
Some of the original live scenes from that Tuesday Morning showing on the screen, I said to myself that if they are showing this stuff I am going to walk out, I could not go through that again. Thank you Oliver and Paramount for not doing that.
Well as for the movie, it was compelling and good natured and showed how 2 people in that situation and pull together and keep each other alive. It shows that faith can help. Keeping up with the tradition of true story lines, you could have kept Jesus and the water bottle out of the picture, that was just plain stupid.
As for emotions, this movie should not bring tears to anyones eyes except for the joyous moment of life being pulled out of tragedy.
The only emotion part of this movie that affected me was the ending when they showed statistics at the end. That part I will not see again when the DVD comes out, it is only a sad reminder to me of my loss.
