I'm curious.

How do you guys feel about 9/11-based films?

they bother me. incredibly. not like in a 'make me sad' kinda way but in a feels like it's just to make a quick buck (like that united one they just did). they make me feel angry, like people are exploiting the event. i think it's because tv/news just overexposed us repeatedly to the point of passing beyond being immune to 'god stop it already'.

As someone who was so close to that destruction but was lucky enough to have no one I know hurt or dead- it bothers me. Alot. It's like reopening a wound. So many people are traumatized and it is still fresh in so many's memory- why do we need a movie- why? What purpose does it serve? I know that with the 9/11 movie before this, the families of victims wanted the movie to be made as a tribute to the passengers who fought back. I can understand this perspective- but let's leave it at that. No one needs to see that day re-enacted. Did we not have enough footage from the event itself? Maybe we can pump some ash into the theatre so I can really get into the moment and reminisce at the smell of burnt bodies drifting over the Hudson River ( ... )

uh
i think it's all too fresh...not to say we shouldn't talk about it, but to make a movie reenacting it? i don't know. personally i know i can't handle it...i can hardly watch news casts from that day.
