From what i've read and heard sounds and looks like an awesome movie. The movie critiques have said its a great film. And Oliver Stone is great to. I'm very much looking forward to this! I'm going to see it tonight. Another 2 hour great epic 9/11 film.

I pulled clips from a movie trailer site and made a little show of 12 clips in the whole sequence. So you can check it out if you to here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K5Q7AxHXr8
 
Just saw world trade center and it was all about hope and courage and a great inspiring film. Gave me chills and the beginning of the film just looking at the twin towers and watching the plane come by and the tower's falling. I had some tears in the film. Cage did a great job in this film. I recommend this to be seen.
 
I cant wait to see this film. I plan on seeing this at the arclight in hollywood on saturday night with my girl and it should be amazing. Ive only heard great things about this film.
 
No one finds it disgusting that they're making money off a movie like this?

Don't you think they should have waited longer so that the movie could remind newer generations and not those who can still remember the stench coming from the site in the weeks after?
 
hey they made WWII films, Korean War, Vietnam War, Depression ERA films, right after those events; so hey, to each its own. actually i dont care, people will do anything to get a movie seen when they want it. perhaps they dont think there will be enough people to care in the future about it. so if it still impactful, use it on the audience. Like i heard they might do one about the tsunami which would be a great story but is it worth telling now? who knows. but is it worth telling 40 years from now? will it make the same money and impact? doubtful....
 
It was America's worst, most fringhtenig days. Why would someone want to re-experience the terror. I dont understand, really. It will make you cry, sure. Doesnt mean that it is any different from any other turn being released today. I dont plan on seeing this movie.

They're giving 10% of the revenue or profit I think it might be to 9/11 related charities.
 
i'd see it.... tsunami event had more an effect because countries we're wiped out and they still get hit by tsunami since the disaster...

I watched on MTV an interview with the cast and 1 of the firefighters that was being portrayed in the movie answered this same question and he said that he thinks people need to see this movie in order to know the whole truth and never forget. This is the right time to be showing it because if it was made later, people would start forgetting the details. He also said that people have the choice to see it or not, so it’s at their own discretion (obviously). Anyways im kinda in a rush writing this up so i cant be more specific with what he said. But thats about it. It’s a well made movie with no conspiracy theories or anything and I cant wait to see it.

I agree.
 
I thought it was an extremley moving movie. Just like when I went to see United 93, the audience got up and left without saying a word. There were some young teenagers there that at first were talking, but when the movie started they shut up and didn't say anything. Watching the movie was like being absorbed in the feelings and emotions that the people felt. Definitley not even close to the same extent, but it was gut wrenching as two major emotions conflicted. To see the evil that men could do was horrible, but to see the hope, bravery and courage that it brings out in people was equally as moving.

I think that these films are serving as a reminder to why the world is at war. Maybe not directly, but they want people to remember the events that have happened, and that is why certain things are happening in the world right now. Many people are forming opinions of the wars and world events, but are completley forgetting what started it all.

Just my thoughts..

Interesting comment that the film should not have been made. Should artists not express themselves after tragedy? If they do, should they confine thier work to very small and select audiences?

I don't think restricting artists is much of a solution to anything. In fact i find the idea horrorific. Film requires capital and film artists will need to turn to those who have it to make their art. Katrina happened less than a year ago and we are seeing documentaries come out. i would argue that documenataries are an art form as well, should they have waited, say 10 years before making them?

I just don't see anything wrong with the timing.
 
I went and saw the movie yesterday. While this movie is about 9/11, its more about two men who without knowing what was going on, went into the building to try and help others.

I think thats the best way to say it. You never see the planes hit the buildings, you don't get any made up action on the floors of the towers, you don't see 5 minutes of opening credits, you see and hear the story the way those on the streets, and more specifically, the group of police that went into the buildings saw and heard it. It's a very powerful movie, and everytime you see shots from the real news reports, you can't help but think about where you were when this happened, and how much of an impact it made on everyone.

No it's not disgusting in my view. The media had their day with it, it's been the suject of all kinds of talk shows and you get the point. Why should not a great director like Stone get pushed off into the next generation to tell a story of heroic people in this tradgedy? Art helps us understand events by providing us with different perspectives. I'm sure many books have been published to date with imagery from that moment in time so what is different? If one feels it's too soon to watch this kind of film for whatever reason the answer is simple....Don't buy the ticket!
 
the only real problem i have with the movie is that only 10% of the opening weekend box office went to the 9/11 funds. i've said it before and i'll say it again.

EVERY CENT EARNED FROM THIS AND UNITED 93 SHOULD GO TO THE FUNDS OF 9/11! NOT JUST A FRACTION OF THE OPENING BOX OFFICE (which both did, and if i remember neither opened with a great amount of money.)

if every cent of it went to the funds i'd be first in line to see it. i wanna see it but i think that the money should be donated.

In which case, everyone working on it should have also worked for free. If all the money is given away who pays all these salaries?

yes i think people shouldn't have accepted pay for doing this or 9/11. i personally think it's wrong. say what you will but i won't change my opinion.

i know that technically you can't really make a film without money but receiving money to do it just sits weird with me.
