Has anyone seen the documentary called "9/11" by the two french brothers Naudet? What did you think about it?
9/11 - the documentary
It made me sad.

It documented the guys involved extremly well.
I felt a real affiliation with everyone portrayed, especially the two Brothers...it was a great moment caught on film when they finally meet back up and discover they both survived this tremendously sad ordeal.
The sound of the bodies hitting terra firma was particulary hard to stomach though.

Hooc. It was pretty harrowing, especially when the guy was running away and the dust from the collapse came billowing down, engulfing him and the camera

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?

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Yes I own this documentary.
Obviously its an upsetting series of events but a good documentary. Its tense when they get back to the station and wait to hear who has made it out alive, especially the Rookie. Good to see the events of the day unfold from the perspective of the Firemen rather than the CNN /BBC newsroom. Very surreal when they are in the WTC Lobby and you have bodies landing outside.
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.

It's been a while since I watched this so I would have to have another look before deciding for myself if it is a phony. I was actually aware of the theories regarding this a a fake but did not wan't to bring it up.
I would say that anythings possible but it's probably legit.
You know that "for a fact," huh? 
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.

And again, I'm not saying that it is fake - just that I had the impression that something wasn't right with it.

Oh, I know. I wasn't addressing you. I haven't seen the documentary and couldn't say if it was maybe a little staged, or exaggerated, or anything else.

Nah, I was just at a movie.
No, it was Cowboys & Aliens.
I'll repeat what I said: if you want to argue about this, there's a thread in it waiting for you to answer a whole heap of questions. They've been waiting a long time. And surely someone who knows such things for a fact would have no problem answering them. Go ahead. Any time.

Not bad. I was a little let down, but the people I saw it with liked it more. I think you'd dig it.
Every theory and debunking, eh? I'd settle for just a few. But your call. However, when you casually mention that you know, for a fact, that it was faked, you can probably expect a re-issue of the same challenges offered before. That's just common sense, I think.
