Excellent story of courage and bravery.....

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2006)

I just came from seeing "World Trade Center". This was an extremely emotional film of which I thought was told very well through the eyes of these two men and their families. Having lost my beloved husband two months before 9/11, this event in history only caused me to feel for everyone who lost someone on that horrible day. Although I had no regrets in my situation, (spoiler) I understood how the woman who's son was the elevator operator of one of the Towers felt about being angry with him and that being the last thing she remembered saying to him. The two actors playing the actual men were very believable and I thought that the conversation back and forth between them while trying to stay alive was very real. Try picturing yourself in that situation(I can't). Kudos to Oliver Stone on making a very sensitive movie about something that many people have seemingly forgotten (with the exception of all the families and friends who lost loved ones on that day). It is my feeling that it is not too early for a movie like this (one of courage and bravery). If it had been a political statement, then I would not have gone to see it. I also saw United 93 and felt the same about it. Just the facts, not your own personal, political agenda. I'd highly recommend seeing this. If it makes you uncomfortable, then it has done it's job - we should all still be uncomfortable with what happened on 9/11.
