As far as 9-11 goes, people need to remember that TriBeCa, the neighborhood immediately north of the WTC (and where I lived) has an enormous amount of entertainment industry executives and actors who love there. Also, there is a lot of cinema industry there. Unlike with other tragedies, this one will be dramatized by people who were there, and who lived through it.
Exactly...these people have every bit a right to film their experiences as they deem fit.

If people don't remember about 9/11 prior to this movie, more than likely, they are going to be the ones that will see something else!

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.
More lives were impacted through the World Trade Center than United 93...so thus, WTC would be embraced on a different level!

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.
I think that's a little overboard to see it everyday, even that would be too much.

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.
Without seeing it, you don't know what they are going to show and what they aren't...basically they can't account for every single aspect of what happened that day!
