I'll wait for the DVD, but yes I intend to see it.

I don't know why some people have issues with the events being made into a movie, look at how many 911 specials there have been, why should this be any different?

I'd hope that they would donate at least some of the profits to a worthy cause, maybe set up scholarships for the children of those who died on that flight. Maybe they are already planning something of that nature, I don't know much about it.

Probably not, I already know how it ends...

Everyone should be required to see it, to make people wake up and remember what happened that day, not just on Flight 93. Americans have very short memories and if something is not fixed in a matter of hours or days, it takes to long. A lot of Americans could learn a lesson from the people on that Flight. That some things are worth more than life itself, and that is standing up to these animals and showing them that some Americans are not the sheep they think we are. God bless those people and go see the movie and realize, it could be you some day, what are you willing to do?

I will probably go and see it.

I agree. Look how quickly we forgot about Katrina or the tsunami. Yes there are still charities set up for these, but we don't talk about it anymore. I don't want to forget 9/11 nor do I want to stop talking about it. This movie is just someone talking about it.

-True...I think part of it is the fact that someone is making money off of it. At least, lots of money....

10% is going to the flight 93 memorial (fund?). I wish it would be more...

Probably not, I already know how it ends...

True enough...but, like i said...i'm not going to "see it"..per se...

Especially the Tsunami... I remember reading somewhere...that as soon as media coverage dropped, just a bit-so did the funding...people, forgot.

Bravo! I fear. I fear that we (USA), are slinking back into our shell. That we are, yet again, going back to our post 9/11 poise. I do not mean our government, our people. Amen on the hero comment.

I don't want anyone to forget. I will see it out of sheer curiosity of the movie. I have seen the Discovery show on it and I have seen and read enough things about it. The only disagreement I have is that someone out there is not really thinking about making people remember but how much money they gonna make on it.

Everyone should be required to see it, to make people wake up and remember what happened that day, not just on Flight 93.

I wouldn't say required, this, after all, would defeat the point of freedom. But I do believe everyone should watch it. I would even go as far as saying that if the movie turns up on the internet that they should allow people to do it, like Micheal Moore did so that it would be a more guarantee of people watching it and that way make it look like this is not about the money. That could make a lot of people see it differently. JMO.

No, not me. It hurts too much and brings back too many bad memories.

I'll explain from my p.o.v. why a lot of people won't see it. It's not that they have forgotten, how can they? It's not that they don't care, they do, too much. Do you know what it's like to lose someone? It brings the same type of feeling, of loss, of helplessness, and this one comes with the feeling of terror.

I am one of those people who saw it happened, thank God I was far enough away not to have to run for my life, but I saw it all, the plane going into the buildings the people jumping out the building to save their lives. That day it was like the earth stopped and the world was coming to an end. The sheer terror of it all brings back too much for alot of people, and it's hard to talk about even now, cause it makes me want to weep. Weep with the loss and the anguish and the anger! And that's why it's still so difficult for some people to watch.


Yes we are proud of what those people did on that flight. I would have done the same thing too. They are not forgotten, they will always be remembered and we don't need a movie to remind us, at least not all of us do.

Americans have very short memories

I agree with this, but humans in general tend to want to forget anything that will cause them pain.

I'm planning on seeing it, but not because I think it is an important film, or to remind myself of that terrible day. I think the story of what happened that day should be immortalized in books, films and any other medium. It is a sad event, but a great story. To me, people who think it shouldn't be made into a movie, or books or anything are missing the point. All great historic events have heroes, villains and victims. Why should we deny ourselves this one, simply because there were victims?

As for making money off it... who cares. I made money off of Hurricane Andrew and all the other disasters and ambulance calls I worked... does that mean my service to those people was any less important? People sell T-shirts and other memorabilia saying "Never Forget"... Cool!! It's not costing the victims or the families anything, so why whine about it.

Plus, from what I've heard, the families of the victims had a hand in this film, so how can people who are only greived by association tell them that they were wrong for participating.

Not all of us Americans, Shadow. Not all of us. I personally won't go to see it because there are certain things in my life I don't need to relive, frankly.

As for making money off it... who cares

The argument about making money off of it is the most BS argument there is. Where a plumber or a carpenter makes money with his hands, I make money off of my keyboard. If I can tell a story that needs to be remembered and get paid for it, that's my business.

I'm glad you brought this up, para, because I am seriously wrestling with the idea of trying to sell the story of the Texas wildfire from the viewpoint of someone who was there, on the trucks. On the one hand, as a volunteer firefighter, I feel like I am violating some sort of unwritten code; on the other hand, I am strongly considering that the reason God PUT me on the truck was because I am the one to tell the story.

It's already been immortalized in books and pictures and film. What's another one right? The point is, yes, it is good for the history lesson and it's definately a lesson learned by us and our leaders, so that we are more prepared in order to defend ourselves. And it has helped many a family member who did lose someone to have the story retold, however, there are those who wish that what has already been done, movies, books pictures, would be it and nothing more because of the pain it causes.

You wroked for the ambulance? That is not profiting from someone elses pain, that is doing your job. Making a movie where possibly millions will be poured in is making money. Unlike you, they make profits, you get paid.

-True...I think part of it is the fact that someone is making money off of it. At least, lots of money....

Totally!

I hate it when people get rewarded for doing things that other people approve of and enjoy!

You know the legal guidelines for telling the stories.. As long as you aren't violating them, tell the tale! It is a little bit harder for small town volunteers to tell stories without violating those guidelines though. I'm lucky, I ran ambulance and worked disasters for 10 years in 5 states. It's very easy for me to keep the story generic enough, but when you work and live in the same town... well, there are only so many car accidents due to prom dates getting too into each other. ;~D

The thing is, there is no reason to expect those who write books and make films to do it solely for educational or historic purposes. Film makers are story tellers. Sometimes they tell a story for a greater purpose, but not always. If a 50 film makers each decided that they could do this story justice, then there's no reason why they all couldn't tell it.

And a film maker making a movie is doing his or her job. I made more money working ambulance than it cost me to work... therefore, I made a profit. If I ever get my book finished and published, I will profit a lot more. When I retell the stories in my blog, and people tell me how much they enjoyed it, I profited again.

Profits are pay. When we work, if it costs us more to work than we make, we probably aren't going to work very long... because it doesn't profit us anything. When you and I work, we get wages, when a self employed person works, they get profits. When an investor invests.. they do it for profits, which is their pay... the only difference is, when we work, we are guarenteed our paycheck, when they invest, they are guarenteed nothing.

I hate it when people get rewarded for doing things that other people approve of and enjoy!

Filmmaking? No. I was referencing the "exploiting 9/11"....anywho...i'm planning on heading into filmmaking...go figure, eh?
