Flight 93
    #5560693 - 04/26/06 10:06 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Does anyone else think it's fucked up that people, going to the movies for entertainment, are going to watch this movie? I mean, talk about exploitation! Furthermore, how can you get into a movie where you know that everyone's dead at the end. So much for character development.

Maybe they'll change the ending:

As the plane spiraled downward into the field in pennsylvania, a glitch in the matrix occured and they all appeared 20 feet away in the woods, safe.

Oh yea and Bush suddenly appeared in the plane and now he's dead.

The End.

Oh yea and there's a rainbow in the sky.

It's more unbelievable to me that people want to make money off of it. I mean, a lot of people have made a lot of money because of it, but it sickens me because you know those people are glad that that happened because they benefited from it.

Ehh, it was done with the consent of every family that lost someone, they let the families meet with who was playing their loved one, it was tastefully done and whatnot..

There have been numerous movies that cashed in on recalling tragedies..

Some argue that this is too soon, though.

I just find it to be exploitation and pathetic... I just don't understand how people oculd pay to watch a national tragedy turned into a 90 minute drama...it just makes me sick.

What's next The Towering Inferno 2: World Trade Centers?

and allows the elite in society to rewrite history the way they see it. The books are being slammed shut on 9/11. This whole thing sickens me.

I'm most interested to see what kind of product placement is in this film.

Flight 93 was one of if not the most heroic event in American history. The fact that a group of ordinary people decided that it was their duty to take down a commercial airliner for the greater good astonishes me.

The bravery exhibited by those people will go down in history. Sadly until now, for the most part, those individuals were overlooked for the people who died in the Trade Centers. Do i believe a movie will be testament of what happened on that flight. Yes. Do i believe they are exploiting it for profit. Yes. However, sometimes in order to get a point across deals have to be made and someone has to make money off of it or the ball will never start rolling.

Lastly, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the men and woman on that flight. If the world had more people like that we wouldn't have to worry about people flying planes into buildings in the first place.

I recently heard from a friend that some psycho actually tried to hijack a plane, saying he had a bomb. He was immeadiately taken dow by three or four brave civilians. The flight was accompanied back to its point of origin by F16's. Fortunately, the perp was just a whacko, and didn't have a bomb. But yeah, thanks to 9-11, I seriously doubt anyone will ever get away with hijacking an American plane again.

I don't like the idea for this movie... Waiting a few years after 9/11, and then exploiting it for $$$. It just doesn't seem right to me. Maybe if the earnings were donated to charity or something I'd feel better about it... But using the money for personal gain? Not only is that selfish, but disgusting.

Ever since 9/11 happened, I have seen this bullshit coming. This is really, really bad taste, I think. If the families approved of it, then the families have bad taste. No way am I going to see this shit.

BTW, I read the transcript from the black box on 93, and it seems like the terrorists took the plane down as soon as they realized they were fucked, not the civilians. It's a lovely notion, but it didn't happen that way. And it's a little late for war propaganda, isn't it? I mean, it ain't a war anymore. It's whack-a-mole. It's a joke. This movie's a joke. The way this country reacted after 9/11 was a joke. Fucking pseudo-patriotic horseshit is a joke.

Okay I'm done.

No; truth, being alive, was not halfway between anything. It was only to be found by continuous excursions into either realm, and though proportion is the final secret, to espouse it at the outset is to insure sterility.

Per chance... the creator of that movie was one of about five or six "internet friends" I had in a private IRC channel/small forum several years ago.

We went our seperate ways... he is still on my buddy list, but I have not watched his movie. heh.

I can believe that the gov't would do something as extreme as killing its own people. I just never thought that it would be done on such a massive scale.

The one thing that i could never put together was how cell phone calls were made from an airplane. I know from experience that once your off the ground your service is gone. But the information was there, the recordings were there, so i made excuses to counteract what i was thinking just like they wanted me to.

The funny part about it all is that the evidence is all in plain site. The pentagon especially. A plane vaporizing on impact.....give me a break. At the time the "shock" of the US being attacked blinded the people from taking the time to look at the evidence. The US is no better than any other autocratic gov't. A country for the people....more like a country for the manipulation of people.

I plan on seeing it this weekend. From all of the reviews that I have read it sounds like it is going to be a good movie.

Come Sunday night I will give you all my review of the movie.

Which one will it be??

I can see a lot of housewives going to see it with the mindset that it's something they have to do. Then talk about it with other girlfriends the next night about how tragic it was. Yep. I'm nuts, sorry.

Such a massive scale? Its not like they blew up the state of NY...The "massive scale" notion is only in your mind. The idea was to maximize the psychological impact while minimizing the fatalities.

How much higher would the fatalities number have been if the planes crashed two hours later than they did? And what about if the towers hadn't fallen unto themselves but rather fell over on the side? Alot higher.

Whoever is behind this movie is generating extremely bad karma. The producers knew full well that making a major motion picture related to 9-11 would be a sealed deal as far as a box debut would go, as the maltitudes would see it out of curiousity. No matter how they portray the events, it is an exploitive film. In the wake of 9-11 a friend of mine once commented that 50 years from now there would be major movie about 9-11. All it took was 5 years, for shame.

What is so exploitive about it?

What happened that day is a historical fact and there is nothing that you are I or anyone else can do to change that.

History is history.

As long as the events are factualy portrayed I do not find anything exploitive about it.
