Artistic realism captures emotion of 9-11

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2006)

True to his style, Oliver Stone captures reality and art to make you feel you are part of the movie. As I watched in a crowded theater I found myself longing to be there in the beginning of the film and stop the clock- to return to life before 9-11-01. So many things have changed about life in America as a result of the terrorist attacks.
True to life, the movie rolls on through the horrible day. It captures the raw emotions our country felt and displays so well the courage and heroism of firemen, police and other rescue volunteers.
This is a very well done movie that everyone should see. I took my two teenage sons who had childhood memories of the day. On the real September 11th I remember how quiet it was with no air traffic in the skies. It was almost as quiet departing the theater as 300 individuals thought about what it meant to them.
