Without casting judgement on the movie before I have seen it, am I the only one who was slightly disturbed by the trailer?

    I'll not even give the site my traffic. How disgusting is it, pimping a disaster of this scale? I would be like making a film about the Holocaust in 1949!

    To the makers of this movie... DIE IN A FIRE!

    There's another 9/11 related movie coming soon too, about one of the planes that was hijacked, I've been forced to see the trailer twice at the cinema now.

    I'm surprised it took them this long to make some movies about what happened but I have no interest in seeing either of them.

    I think Oliver Stone may have finaly crossed the line.

    Might be time to have him forcably committed.

    Paul Greengrass is one of my favorite directors. The Bourne Supremacy was too damn smart for its own good, and Bloody Sunday is horrifyingly good. Do not judge United 93 until you see it. I don't think many directors can make a worthwhile and intelligent film about this, but I do think he can.

    WTC is another matter.

    pain sucks

    burying it only makes it fester

    grow up

    explore it, feel it, let it go

    I agree the film has been made too soon after the attacks. With that said, it isn't about the attacks per se. It's about the experience of two Port Authority officers who survived the collapse.

    But again, I still think it's too soon.

    Why should art lose value in proximity to its subject?

    Do these films give money to the victims families?

    There has been many films, Alive is one and that was disturbing. You could even look at every WW2 film and say exactly the same thing. The movie industry loves making money from peoples unfortunate events in life.

    Actually, Flight 93 was made with the permission of the families of those who died onboard.

    And to whoever said grow up, were you there? if so then maybe you've the right to say that, if not, then shut the fuck up.

    [B]I am sure after Pearl Harbor the first movie about it stirred the same reaction. [/B][/QUOTE]

    Was Tora Tora Tora the first serious Pearl Harbor film? If so I wonder what the reaction was, especially since the director was so even handed with the Japanese.

    Tora Tora Tora was made in 1970; so while I'm sure it stirred up strong feelings, it was made almost 30 years after the event.

    What's more, in 1970 all one need to do was turn on the news to see war first hand, which may have accounted for its poor showing at the box office. Then again, the war didn't seem to affect Patton.

    The trailer. Listen to the music in the end. The part after "unconfirmed reports of a plane..." when the image switches to a firetruck. And exactly the same when a woman is hugging a bedsheet afterwards.

    Listen to Babylon 5 - sleeping in light music....
    Similar? I think so...but B5 music was better
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    Your right...same thing for a part of that...thus why it sounded so familier..

    Dangit...

    WHERE FOR ART THOUGH MUSIC OF B5?!?

    I lost all my B5 music awhile back...aside from the ITF Music I had on CD. :(
  • Vorlons in my HeadVorlons in my Head The Vorlons told me to.
    I noticed the music right away. It really sounded awfully close to the SiL music.
  • MundaneMundane Elite Ranger
    then again, maybe the B5 music actually is inspired by previous art too......

    5 years already... hmmm...

    We give money to therapists to explore our pain etc. Is a movie any different?

    I agree though, I generally hate the idea of movies made to profit from such events.

    The people who went through it get nothing from it.

    It's the world we live in...
