September 11th, motion picture?
It’s been three years since the attacks on the World Trade Centres and the Pentagon… where thousands of lives were killed by acts of terrorism and an arrogant government. Seems like a good movie eh? No, there isn’t a movie being made on this tragedy, or not yet. I would like to see a major motion picture based on the day of 2001, September 11th. Something along the lines of “Pearl Harbour”. The scenes pans over to both sides, showing the years/months/days leading up to the attack. The preparations, the denial of attack, the American invasion of the responsible nation, prosecution of nationality among peoples who had no link to the destructive acts… Wait, this is ‘exactly’ like Pearl Harbour. A lot of people may not agree with it or completely agree with it. What do you think? FYI: I was thinking the movie would follow more of a action based genre then a documentary. |
I really don't think it's needed. I believe it will flop, and it would need a HUGE budget for it.

The movie would be HILARIOUS!
Bush would be at his ranch for two hours, at a book reading session for thirty minutes, and wide-eyed looked the rest of the time. I rather clip my nails then watch a movie like that. What story line would you base it on....it would look like a docuementry if you didn't have a story to it. |
It would be a great film.

There is one called The Guys, about a fire captain who lost a lot of men in 911, and had to eulogize 4 of them. I sw the play, which was pretty good, but I've heard the film sucks. I really think it's too soon, even now, to not be really upsetting to a lot of people.

There is a fantastic documentary called 9/11 by 2 french brothers Jules & Gedeon Naudet. It's their footage that everyone saw of the plane hitting the building, they started out making a docu on probie firemen in New York, and soon become involved at the twin towers. One of the brothers is inside the second tower, and uses the light from his camera to find his way out. I think this was shown on HBO, it was on BBC over here, but I highly recommend it. Having shared a flat in NY with a fireman, IMO it's too early to make a film, emotions are still high, and memories are still fresh in the minds of those who lost loved ones.

i believe if there was an action film made about this it would strike alot of controversy. Think about the people who lost there friends and family in the tragedy. How do you think you would respond to an action film made about this?

I just think certain people would react differently to this film if it was ever made.

Seriously, I don't think there needs to be a movie about 9/11--it would potentially trivialize a national tragedy. An "action movie" about 9/11? Give me a break!
On the other hand, I would totally support a movie that begins with 9/11 and then goes on to dramatize the worldwide socio-political repurcussions of that event over the following four years. Now that would be eye-opening, IMO. |

I think such a movie would be seen as an attempt to cash in on this tradgedy and spur patriotism through blatant propaganda and would affend many people including myself. I don't think enough time has passed to have the historical perspective to portray this fairly.

I saw the play in LA of course, with Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon in the roles. They were great and I thought the script was nicely done, a great concept. I'm happy to hear it got good treatment. I'll check out the film. |
A would not suggest making a film until at least a decade after 9/11. It's just too soon. I think it would be too personnal for those effected, and besides I think those people that lost somene should have the final say about if and when.
