World Trade Center

Did anyone see it?

I went over the weekend. I actually thought it was pretty good. Of course, everyone was crying at the end (I think just knowing that it ACTUALLY happened, and that it's not just a movie).

I think Pixie may have seen the movie over the weekend. You shoud PM Pixie and ask her if she saw it.

As if, Pixie is WAY too shallow and conceited to go see that movie and care about those people.....

I think Ill wait till its on video. I cry watching the commercial about it. That scene where you see this wife sitting down watching it happen on tv and just knowing what is happening. So sad.

Yeah, it really was that sad. But like I said, it was especially poignant because we all knew that this really happened. It was heartbreaking to see it from a different point of view.

I havn't seen it but would like too. I'm just wondering... was Giuliani in it? Not the real person of course, but was there an actor in it that played him? Just wondering if they panned him in a good light or not at all or what. Thanks!

Nope, no mention of Giuliani at all that I noticed.

Saw it this weekend. I think all parties involved did a wonderful job creating the movie but I highly recommend that you wait until it comes out on DVD. I wish I would've waited. Nonetheless, it was amazing how they portrayed the absolute hell those men endured. I can't even imagine...

I saw World Trade Center opening day and thought it was a very good. Oliver Stone, the celebrated director of Born On The Fourth Of July, JFK, and Platoon, did a fantastic job of conveying the sadness and terror of 9/11 and, overall, the movie was very uplifting, sobering, and cathartic. Nicolas Cage (my favorite contemporary actor, for the record) and Maggie Gyllenhaal gave great performances. Yes, the pace could've used tightening and the movie was occasionally heavy-handed, but, overall, very good.

However, 2006 other's 9/11-themed drama, April's United 93, was far better. It's not as uplifting (WTC has a happy ending ; U93, of course, does not), but it is more hard-hitting and a tad more powerful.

I will wait for both to come out on DVD. I saw the trailer for WTC and I cried like someone shot me.

I didn't cry watching World Trade Center, but borderline-bawled at the end of United 93.

This movie was very good, not sad at all. Courage was what it was about, courage of men.

I watched "From the Twin Towers" this weekend on Discovery and ended up crying though I braced myself beforehand.
