*bump*

It's been almost nine years since I started this thread. Has anyone seen this film (9/11 by Jules and Gédéon Naudet and James Hanlon)? Do you remember the film and your thought about it?

I haven't watched it again since 2002 when I started this thread.

But I watched I'm Still Here the other night and I don't know why I came to think about 9/11. But I suddenly did and went here to see if anybody had written anything about it and I found this thread - that I started. (I've been here too long....)

Anyway... I remember when I saw this film and that I felt that there was something fishy about it. I didn't want to say it outright because I was afraid that I was going to offend someone here (it was pretty sensitive times back then), but I remember thinking that the documentary, entirely or on some level, was staged.

I haven't seen it since, and I haven't analyzed it further, and since no one here seemed to be of the same opinion, I dropped it and apparently stopped thinking about it (especially since I even forgot about my own thread). But last night I googled around a bit to get info about the film and the filmmakers, and I have to say that judging by the extraordinary unique footage that this film provides us with, there's very little written about it. On imdb there were links to 10 external reviews by critics I have never heard of (I think 3 were German). There's 208 links to external reviews on Bowling for Columbine. I find that odd.

On the net there's a few conspiracy theorists that claim that this film is a hoax, and they really deconstruct it to pieces. I can't even bother to read it, it's so detailed and hair-splitting. What I have is my own gut feeling, that I often felt that the people in the documentary were acting, that the events were scripted and that the camera work felt not at all spontaneous or improvised.

I shouldn't say too much though - it's been nine years. I should probably watch it again and see if I still think it's fishy.

You know that "for a fact," huh? :laugh: Sure.

I'm not going to debunk this stuff all over again here. I'll just remind you that there's already a thread containing a few never-answered questions (and never-admitted debunkings) directed at you. You can go ahead and start there if you want to make your case. I'll take this stuff on any time.

Nah, I was just at a movie.
