movie: united 93
so this movie is getting great reviews from all the critics who’s opinions i respect, but i just don’t think i’ll see it a for a few reaons. even though it’s 5 years later, i think it’s still too soon to reinact this. i think it still hits too close for too many people that they can watch it and enjoy it. the thing that really irks me about this, is that we don’t really know what happened on the plane. it’s like “the perfect storm” where all they knew was that those guys were out fishing in a storm, and never came back. there was some intermittent radio communication but not enough to make the 2 hour story, so most of it was made up. (i remember the families of those fisherman being upset with the movie.) anyway, having not seen it yet, i imagine it’s about how heroic the passengers were and how they overtook the terrorists but then couldn’t fly the plane and crashed, but saved the capital. now that’s a great story, but i think it’s just as likely that the passengers started to revolt, the terrorist pilot got scared and just crashed the plane, or the terrorist pilot just couldn’t fly the plane and crashed before the passengers could do anything, or maybe the military just shot the plane down, and was happy to see this movie come out to help engrave this story into the people’s minds. anyway, it comes out tonite, i guess we’ll see what everyone else thinks on monday.
