My wife & I went to see this movie on Saturday. We deliberately went to see this movie on the MI3 opening weekend and at a theater that was playing MI3 as a mini-protest and the Tom Cruise cult. I'll tell you that United 93 was a good film that portrayed the terrorists not in a cartoonish manner as The Delta Force, but as humans. The film depicted the ringleader of this band of terrorists as possibly having second thoughts. Granted, that we do not know exactly what happened on that flight which crashed in Pensylvania, it was an interesting conjecture.
The passengers that fomented the rebellion against the terrorists were not protrayed as gung-ho Americans. Instead they were portrayed as people that accepted their fate, but decided to try and do something about saving more innocent lives even if at the expense of their own.
I was struck by the manner in which the normality of 9/11 was portrayed. Those of you on the east coast anf in Europe had some semblance of a normal. On that day, I (and the rest of the west coast) was awokened to gasps of horror from the radio regarding the plane crashing into the North Tower. The remainder of the events on that fateful day pretty much dominated the news here on the west coast.
I think that this is an important film that should be seen as a reminder why we should "never forget."
