when it comes to this film. I'm looking forward to it as I'm an Oliver Stone fan...

I'm a NYer; I have friends who were in the towers when they got hit (all got out). My wife was on Fulton Street, 4 blocks away, when the first tower fell. Saw this over the weekend. Bad idea, because it really re-awakened much of the depression and anxiety I was feeling right after 9/11/01...I got pretty emotional thru the whole film, and I physically couldn't stand up until most of the credits had rolled.
I think it was a very well-made film. Maybe my opinions are colored by my hugely emotional feelings about the events that day, but the film IMHO really captured the courage of these men...and to me, this was spotlighted not merely by the time when the two officers were buried, but really moreso by the mere fact that with everything going on, they actually had the courage to go into the tower after it had been hit. The film captures this incredibly well.
Am not usually an Oliver Stone fan, but I must give him kudos on this film for highlighting the heroics of these men and women.
It still affects me (being a Southerner) when I see this stuff. Getting old, I guess. * - mr grits 21:32:08 08/12/06 (0)
