You can argue that. Was spring 1942 too soon for Pearl Harbor movies? This film is more akin to a Pearl Harbor movie that came out in 1946.
I'll be going to see it.
This position has always been a non-starter for me -- anyone not being "ready" to see it can simply not go see it-- but the notion that the copernican types, "I'm the center of the universe and everything revolves around me" can decide for everyone else is simply absurd.
If Todd Beamer's dad can sit through, for goodness sakes, so can I!!!!!!!
We must never forget!

Sept 11 film 'too close' for Kiwi victim's family
Excerpt
A year after the 2001 attacks, Beaven's wife, Kimi, revealed to the Sunday Star-Times that her husband's remains were found in the cockpit of Flight 93 and his voice was on the cockpit voice recorder.
The film, to open on April 28 in America, has ignited debate there over whether the country is ready for such a vivid portrayal of the attacks.
When a trailer advertising the film was played at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, audience members began calling out, "Too soon!"
The trailer contains news film of one of the planes about to hit the World Trade Center, and a cinema in Manhattan took the rare step of pulling it from its screens after several complaints.
"One lady was crying," the manager told a local paper. "I don't think people are ready for this."
Ralph Beaven said he would not go to the cinema to watch the film. "For me personally, I'm not sure I'd go along, I think it would be a little too close to home. I don't want to go down that track again.
"It would be very emotionally charged, especially seeing someone else represent your brother."
You know that's right.

Jury reconvenes in Moussaoui case
deliberating death penalty now.
Please pray they finish by Friday and the defense doesn't have the case dismissed due to this movie coming out.
what we need is a MSM that shows the towers being brought down at least once daily. Show the grusome stuff..the folks throwing themselves off the towers in desperation.
Americans have forgotten 9/11.
they need to see it again and again.
Maybe I misunderstood you.---I hope I misunderstood you!
The families of these heroes have sanctioned this movie....
..why can't you???
I hadn't realized that the cockpit was intact and remains found....
>>>>The families of these heroes have sanctioned this movie....
Not true. There were not all asked.
This movie seems to have a few changes vs. what really happened.
Then again, we may never know the truth.
Wow. Was it Oliver Stone handing out the flyer?
I guess you wouldn't have approved of all the WWII movies in the theaters during the war?
I explained my reasons in a previous post. Opinions differ.
>>Likewise, United 93 does not delve into the background of the terrorists. Other films have done that, but it isn't on Greengrass' agenda, nor is sympathizing with them or demonizing them. ..
His vision for United 93 was not to make a political statement or to cast blame<<
Of course not. We must not impose our moral prejudices on these demonic homicidal maniacs who are now burning in hell for eternity.
That would not be politically correct.
"I guess you wouldn't have approved of all the WWII movies in the theaters during the war?"
Not if they brought joy, aid and comfort to our enemies. Correct.
Feel free to disagree. That's what makes USA great.
