"United 93" reminds a forgetful nation of 9/11 tragedy

We all remember our feelings of pain and outrage when the events of 9/11 unfolded. But Americans also should be reminded of the patriotism and togetherness we all felt in those days. This is a good thing.

All members of Congress and the Senate should be forced to watch this movie even if they have to duct tape and toothpick their eyes open with side blinders to make them look forward at all times.

No tissues allowed no hankies they should taste every tear the American people have tasted and it should burn into their skulls like a brading iron never to forget why we are fighting for America !

A movie so powerful it opening third this weekend behind "Stick It" and "RV."

I blame the advertising. The trailer (which shows quite often around here) makes it look rather like a made-for-TV movie.

[Cinnamon]

I am going to watch it myself. Remember the people who were clamoring to Farenheit9/11? Same people are now saying "it's too soon"

My wife doesn't want to watch the movie... then I get this mental picture of an ostrich with its in the sand when I look at her.

Word-of-mouth will tell more.

Buzz on RV: "It sucks."
Buzz on F/93: "Gotta see this!"

[PackerBoy]

It's actually showing in fewer theaters that #1 and #2.

I think word of mouth will build the audiences for this movie, which I saw last night. Very moving. Very powerful. Very well done. Reawkened some very angry feelings for the demented Islamofascists. "Religion of Peace" my @$$.

You must persuade her to go. Bribe her if you have to. She will not regret it.

I, my husband and a friend went on opening day, Thursday. My husband & I thought it was great but my friend said during the movie that the government was doing a Pearl Harbor. She insists flight 93 was shot down and that 9/11 was allowed to happen so Bush could go to war.

I was shocked since we have never really talked politics and I had no idea she thought that way. What a let down from a freind.

It opened 3rd in total gross, but it didn't open in as many theaters as the top 2 films. It actually grossed more per theater than the top 2.

I wanted to see it this weekend but it isn't playing yet in this area (last refuge of the libs). If it gets here many will attend. Don't think the left doesn't inject politics into movie distribution.

"In retrospect, I believe the movie is exactly what Americans need to see."

Exactly, this movie is a poignant reminder of how close the war is to Americans. They can hit home again, and probably will. The left surrender monkeys want to get out of Iraq and cave to the psychopath in Tehran. We can't let it happen.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Great flick!!!! All Americans should see it. Note the evident transfer of mood and action from pre 911 to post 911 in the military, the air controllers and the doomed passengers on United Flight 93. Although the film is totally apolitical, anyone with half a brain could see the country and key operating people did not have a clue that something like this would ever happen. You can thank Bill, Hilllary Clinton and the entire Democrat Party for that. Yep, and vote 'em again, you soon get a taste of Iranian supplied Nukes. Your kiddies and wives will just love that!!! Yeah, America, you don't have a clue as to what's coming. Your Democrat Party is and has actively aiding and abetting our enemies form the gitgo!!!!

my friend said during the movie that the government was doing a Pearl Harbor. She insists flight 93 was shot down and that 9/11 was allowed to happen so Bush could go to war.

Tell her, if Bush just wanted an excuse to go to war, the 2 towers crumbling to the earth would've been excuse enough for him.

And I like the excuse that Bush went to war in Iraq for the oil - if so, why are the gas prices so high.

[Savage Beast]

I intend to see this, but my wife doesn't want to. She is very courageous and well aware of meaning of it all. Don't be too hard on your wife. I suspect that many people don't want to relive this tragedy though they are not lacking in courage or awareness.

[Savage Beast]

Your friend is a sick woman. Encourage her to get help.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

IT'S TOO SOON! IT'S TOO SOON!

But a movie about Bush "lying" about 9/11 is made instantaneously.

[Savage Beast]

It's all Democrat propaganda--either the lying leaders or the mindless morons who follow and parrot them.

[SnarlinCubBear]

When the movie ended last night, the theatre was black and silent. A man stood up and loudly proclaimed "THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IF THE BORDERS ARE NOT SECURED".

[Mia T]

Saw the movie yesterday. Generally excellent. I did think, however, that it failed to identify the underlying hatred. I think it requires more than an islamofascist mindset to commit these unspeakable acts.
