My concern is not over those closely associated to 9/11. There is no way those people could ever forget the horror of that day. I'm talking about everyone else, those who dont remember it every day or see the reminders all around them. I don't want them to flash back to Nick Cage or Maggie Gyllenhall (sp) when they think about that day. Another thing I question is why this movie is being embraced so much more than United 93. I thought that was a great movie, it was truthful (to what we think happened), it was realistic, and it wasn't romanticized. It even starred unknown people, and had the approval of every passenger's family. I guess I'm just of the camp who thinks we should watch the disaster every day on tv. Americans have a tradition of softening things up, and this is one thing I think should be portrayed in all of its horrific reality. Note, I'm not necc against this movie, I just wish the big blockbuster film about the event would be a broader portrayal of what happened. Basically, its how I feel about Pearl Harbor. The movie ignored the feelings and fear surrounding WWII, and instead focused on a drama between a small group of people, with the event in the background. Hopefully I'll be wrong about the movie, I think there is a middle ground you can use. For example, Saving Private Ryan did a good job focusing on a small story of the war, but still at times attended to the entire war as well.
