United 93
Louis: ***1/2 Angela:****
I was originally hesitant to see this film thinking that I would be seriously disturbed by the scenes aboard United 93. In the end it seems that I already had a pretty accurate view of what happened, or at least what is thought to have happened on board.
I actually found what happened at all of the other locations (various FAA, civilian, and military flight control centers, etc.) more disturbing and ultimately even interesting from an educational perspective. It's sad that our government didn't have any sort of working plan to prevent this from happening.
I do think it's important for everyone to see this film.

I was afraid to watch this film and am glad that I did. It was very different from the mde for TV film which focused totally on the passengers, especially Todd Beamer. It was heart wrenching to watch their agony. This film allowed space between the anguish of the passengers and the event. While still heart renching, one could focus on the activities on the ground and approach it from an intellectual perspective not pure emotion. I guess now I will watch Nicholas Cage's film World Trade Towers.
