I saw the movie and thought it was a well made film. It made me think where I was at the time and related it to the air traffic controllers, Norad, and Flight 93. It did give us a sense of all the miscommunication that happened. Watching it with an audience who all had some connection with the subject matter was a real interesting experience. Paul Greengrass, who is British, wasn't sure if he wanted to do the movie until the London Bombings last year. I don't think it was too soon to make it either otherwise if we wait until 50 or 60 years from now, we might get another Pearl Harbor Movie on our hands.
yeah, that sounds a little creepy.....withgut getting into the politics ofd the movie, it was good, but the reason for it being made is a little questionable....
I have to admit that I really liked the movie. The director did a really good job making the viewer sympathize for the victims. I felt, while watching the movie, that I was on the plane that was crashing. I am pretty picky about movies, but I found United 93 realistic and gripping. True, it may have come out too early, and a movie about 9/11 is bound to make money no matter what. I can't answer for the motives of Hollywood on this one. But I highly recommend the movie because it is realistic and helps us to better understand what these passengers went through, especially as they plan and fight to overtake the plane. It's easy for some to politicize the issue and say: "America had it coming due to its imperialism and bad foreign policy." But with this movie you see the human element. You really feel for these people who were about to die over foreign policies they had nothing to do with. It is a great tragedy.
All things considered, it could have been far, far worse. I am not a Bush fan for one second, and this movie hasn't changed my feelings about that. It wasn't Afghanistan that did this, and it wasn't Iraq and it sure wasn't Iran. I've heard that the guys involved in this were Saudis. The Saudis are Dubya's buddies, so we certainly aren't going to go after them.
I watched this movie today. I swore I wouldn't...but after seeing the comments in this thread, I got curious. I do feel that its sad to think of someone making money off of this tragedy. However, lots and lots of people have made money off of lots and lots of different tragedies. By book deals, movies, etc. Including people who make 9/11 rememberance t-shirts, ribbons, etc. It's everywhere. Thats how it goes, right or wrong. Now about the movie, I felt it was done very tastefully. I cried through the whole thing. It's weird watching this movie and seeing the hijacking. We all get "used" to seeing action movies which have content in them like this. But knowing that it really happened, really got to me. It makes it really really hard to watch. I can't say that it is a "good" movie or that I "enjoyed" it. Because I don't think you can say that about this movie. But it did an excellent job of portraying what happened that day.
The movie is a total lie, people! Wake up! Your government was 100% behind the attacks, not Arab terrorists with boxcutters who possessed impeccable flying abilities that rivaled even the most professional commercial pilots with decades of experience (most of whom admit THEY couldn't pull off what the "terrorists" did). Nothing presented in the movie is real. It's all fake. It's all a lie. Stop falling for propaganda aimed at your emotions. It's all there to control you. If you want to know what really happened on 9/11, watch the documentary 'Loose Change' (2nd Edition). United 93 is a laughing stock aimed at a bunch of gullible, feeble-minded dumbasses. I am sorry, but it's the truth. Stop falling for the lies and propaganda. Your government is responsible for 9/11. Your government murdered 3,000+ people! Stop being so ignorant. Wake the fuck up now! Please! If you MUST see United 93, understand it's all FICTION! NOTHING, and I repeat NOTHING, the movie references actually happened. NOTHING!! EXPOSE THE 9/11 LIE!!!
Pressed_rat, I see your one of the consipracy theorists out there. You claim it's all a lie, but you provide no information supporting your claims except a referance to 1 piece of work. I believe that everyone has a right to thier own opinion, but if you're going to call everyone dumbasses and the like, you should at least backup your claims with hard fact. Your post was useless and uninformative.
Watch the movie loose change, He's right, man. 9/11 was a self-inflicted wound. We are all being lied to. This notion almost drove me insane... but it drove me to search for truth, and do find a way out of this society of obligated menacing manifeso

Speaking of loose change, here's an extensive debunking of all the logical fallacies, distortions, and outright lies of loose change: http://home.flash.net/~lauras34/loosechangedebunk.pdf Loose change is more propaganda to mislead the general public. The person who wrote it is doing the same thing the Bush administration is doing, misleading the public for one's own gain. It stands to reason that even Fox News is promoting loose change. .
ok if you read that debunking it's not even a debunking at all, it's just his denial of any of the facts, he will go to any legnth to disprove what loose change says, and most of the valid points have no red text after them...read it for yourself. Shaggie, for a supposed liberal you seem very against the free speech that loose change uses.
No, I'm not against free speech. I'm against more lies and deception. We have enough of it from the government as it is. Another debunk site: http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/ .
any body that buys into this bullshit might as well say they are in the "bushnatical's" pocket...cuz they are ...this film is just another example of the mass media controlling the thought process of the "sheople" of society..the passengers of flight 93 are victims alright...sad thing is...their own government killed them...in order to script a bullshit story to justify their twisted monetary and power asperations....people open your fucking eyes.....you can tell they are lying...their mouths are moving...that is all they know
You conspiracy theorists are dumb. And this movie wasn't made to make money, it was made to tell the story of the people on that flight. And for those people who thought it was too soon, the makers of the film got permission from all the families to make it. And just cuz some terrorists knew how to fly some planes into buildings doesn't mean that America trained them. There are planes in countries other than America. The conspiracy theorists need to shut the fuck up with their anti-Anerican attitudes.
i love america, the people who pulled off 9/11 hate america and want to use it to takeover our government and mislead the american people into endless war and tyranny.
Call it proganda if you will this film is just another fine example of the ignorant preaching stupidity to the naive. This is a key factor in why although we create technological marvels we have yet to creep out of the primordial slime in our emotions and consciousness.
