Appropriate or not?


In the two clips from the films "United93" and "World trade centre", two stories were shown relating to the same event. Both movies reflect heroism in different ways. In world trade centre the story is based on two courageous policemen who volunteered to help rescue civilians in the midst of the twin towers first hit. The story continues with the happenings of the policemens dissapearance and the way the families deal with the tragic news.


The movie United 93 is about the fourth hijacked plane that did not hit its destination target. The movie recaptures the bravery of the passengers on the plane standing up to the hijackers and taking control of Americas fate. Although the two movies are somewhat similiar, many people show different opinions towards each film. Besides the fact that I think the movie World Trade Centre was made at an inappropriate time, personaly i did not enjoy the movie at all. I felt that the movie not only had poor film making, but there was not much real emotion involved. The movie was not very believable and did not look like much effort was put into it. I think september 11th deserves a little more respect and should not have been made into a poorly written, not to mention cheesy film.


On the other hand, i feel that United 93 was an excellent film. After watchingthe movie i felt as if i was back on september 11th, but was filled with more knowledge and understanding of the tradgedy. It was a very respectable film that really made you feel for the victims on the plane, but remeber them as heroes with great courage. I feel that this film is a personal choice and should not be seen for entertainment. It is a challenge to watch,but a tremendous accomplishment.






In addition, this trailor for the newest spiderman movie, was banned from being broadcasted. If you look at the end, you will notice a clip of a hellicopter being stuck between the twin towers by spiderweb. Why do you think this is innapropriate? Is it because it was too soon after the attack? or because it may cause ripe emotions by people who may have lost loved ones in 9/11?
