World Trade Center [Movie]
    #5947615 - 08/09/06 02:43 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I can't believe they made a movie about this. It's even harder for me to believe they actually titled it "World Trade Center." It's great to know that America is so cheap and commercialized that thousands of people will see this movie.
I hate how the actors prolly took home more than 90% of us will make in a lifetime by making this movie. I'm not spending $10 so some asshole can make a buck off a national tragedy

as much as i disagree with the idea about making a movie...to ENTERTAIN....based on the most horrific day in the history of the country.....

i have to give oliver stone and nicholas cage my $8.50...because they never tend to dissapoint me.

i think it is an embarassment to all those directly involved in that day....

why do you think there was a wait of nearly 40 years for movies such as 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'Pearl Harbor' to come out....i knew this day would come...but i wouldnt have guessed it would have come out 5 years later...thats way to soon..especially for families that are still grieving such a tragic event.

I don't see what the big deal is. Any major historical event is going to have movies based on it, and rest assured this one will not be the last.

Uhm, have you ever seen classic movies? They made movies about WWII straight after and even during the war

I'm gonna see the WTC movie, hope it's a good and serious flick. I thought United 93 was pretty good and emotional.

would you rather watch one of the 10 bazillion remakes of crappy 70's movies,
maybe you prefer the ones based on cartoons like Scooby Do, or maybe movies
based on shitty 70's TV shows, hollywood has no original thought any more, in
fact, I believe it was a toss up between WTC and Towering Inferno (1974)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072308/trailers-screenplay-E12103-10-2

WTC almost seemed like an original idea

regardless of what you actualy think of the movie, I suggest storming out and demanding a refund just because it has Nicolas Cage in a staring role

That's not fair Nicolas Cage has made a few good movies:
Adaptation
Leaving Las Vegas
The Weather Man
Lord of War

IMO  :smirk:

I think Nicolas Cage acted really good in some of the movies.
That many of his movies suck can be said of many actors.
Have you seen Robert De Niro's latest work?

cage had an acting double for those movies

andno, I'm not willing to spend $10 for a movie, $4 for popcorn, $4 for a drink
just to be dissapointed by a bunch of tools any more, it was bad enough when
movies were only $5

Oliver Stone's last film, Alexander, was a tragedy in itself.

The point is that if they're claiming that the purpose of the film is to help the victims of the tragedy, then they should be giving the majority of the proceeds to the vicitims and take a little for themselves for a job well done. Anything else, at least to me, would be hypocritical. But, they're taking in the vast majority of the proceeds and basically giving the victims their spare change. At least that's how it sounds like with the 10%->5% deal. If that's wrong, then I stand corrected, but it's hard to turn 5% into a majority. They're the ones demeaning the purpose of their own film by skimming so much off the top of a noble purpose. "We're here to help the people...but we're taking 95% of the money for ourselves first." Bullshit. These assholes are getting rich.

And I'm not bringing into question what the people involved in making the film do with their money. That's a completely seperate issue. But I don't know why they'd be so afraid to say "Hey, since the sole purpose of this film is to help the victims, I'm going to donate the majority of my earnings to victims." I might as well pay Bill Gates since he's such a philanthropist. (sp?)

And I wasn't all that fond of Titanic either. It was another movie that belittled a tragic event for entertainment purposes, but at least it was done long after the event after all of the wounds healed, and the magnitude of it doesn't even compare to the WTC. The Titanic sank in 1912 - GRANDchildren of those who perished were probably nearing retirement when the movie was made. If they can't recover after that long, then I don't know what to say, but finantial aid isn't going to do them any good.

IDK..maybe I just have more cynical view of the world.

The fact that people are making money off of this tragedy (whether they are trying to celebrate it or not) is what gets my blood boiling. Yeah people should know what happened but thats what the history channel is for.

Oliver Stone is re-telling a story we all know far too well, the only motive is $$$$

its a movie about making money off of a tragedy that happened 5 years ago. it should be burned.
