Anyone seen "Flight 93" yet?

What'd you think of it? Should I go see it?

That's a difficult question. It is a very well made film.

It's also an extraordinary experience (words used carefully here). I
still shake when I think about it almost a month later - I saw it in an
audience test.

Given the choice, knowing what I know now, I would not have seen it. I
would have mailed a $20 bill to the producer and thanked him for making
it. It is soul-changing. In a good way, but it's still deeply
painful.

Are you referring to the film "United 93", which premiered yesterday?

I don't think I'll see it. I mean, how can they recreate what happened
except in the most general sense? At most, the movie is a guess based on
cockpit recorders and a cell phone call or two.

Do you really want the story these victims of 9/11 to be based on a guess?

Too soon for me to see it. Perhaps in ten years or so.

I haven't seen it and likely won't. I have enough
hatred for those animals that I don't need anything to
further it.

I think the fear is that if we don't have movies like this our country
will quickly change their point of view and see the terrorists as poor,
disadvangated people who really only need financial aid from the U.S.
and then they wouldn't hate us.

And even if we gave it to them, they'd still hate us.

It opens here on Friday (tomorrow).

I'll see it a month later, probably alone, at the $2 Theaters.

Too soon to tell what kind of job they did writing, directing, editing, etc.

Saigon fell in 1975:

The Deer Hunter (1978) ....9 Academy Award nominations
Coming Home (1978) .......8 Academy Award nominations
Apocalypse Now (1979) ...8 Academy Award nominations

The Killing Fields (1984) .....7 Academy Award nominations

Take a look at the movie trailer and decide if this is something you are
willing and ready to view.
Some of us choose not to because it will make us angry, yet others may need
to be reminded.
It amazes me that there are those that claim it never happened.

The trailer definitely looks like the movie is of potentially good quality.
