It is your duty as an American to see this movie!

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2006)

I was on vacation from work last week but did not go out of town, my girlfriend had to work so basically it was going to be a whole week of nothing but being lazy, which is deserved considering i go to college and work. It did not take long before i found myself to be board and searching for something to do. I saw a preview for World Trade Center on the t.v. around noon and the preview did what it was supposed to do. It made me go into our kitchen and get out the newspaper, there was a 1:00 show and i really wanted to see it. I felt kind of weird about going to the movies by myself because i had never done that before and i knew my girl wanted to see it too and she would be (and was) mad that i went to see it without her. Finally i decided to go see it and for whatever reason i had to see it right that moment. I got to the theater and there was only about 12 people tops (including myself)and some other people were there by themselves so i didn't feel as dumb as i thought i would. I really wanted to see the movie because it is something that happened during my life and a day we all will never forget, i wanted to get a feel for what these two very brave men went through although i knew it was nothing nice and that the movie would be very sad and if at all happy it would be a happy sad. The movie was Phenomenal i sat by myself a 25 year old man and cried my eyes out at like 4 or 5 different parts. The movie was so good and i got so into it i basically put myself in the shoes of these characters and i cant even describe in words how great of a movie it was. All i do have to say is i think it is your duty as an American to go see this film. Obviously we all will never forget the tragic events that took place that day and sometimes we probably don't even want to think about that because of how truly sad and devastating it was, but we as Americans who are not from New York (im from Milwaukee, Wi) and were not actually there that day have to see this. Get into the film put yourself in their shoes and you will get somewhat of a better visual idea of how it may have felt to be there that day. It is sad but there is also a happy sad type moment when the two officers are pulled from the wreckage and their families become aware that they are indeed alive. Please see this movie, there is no possible way you can be disappointed the movie makes you sad, makes you cry, makes you proud to be an Amerian and that is what a good movie should make you feel. Don't go see something stupid don't waste $8.75 or whatever the cost is in your city on some movie that is not World Trade Center because if you are an American then you need to see this movie and if you don't see it at all whether at the theater or at home then shame on you.
