World Trade Center

[Canitoch]

Is anyone going to see this? Personally I don't. I don't like the fact that a big time actor plays the main role..and it's like he was the only hero and everyone else is following after him @_@

What is everyone elses input on this movie? Gonna see it? No?

 

[Lanien]

I refuse. It would hurt to much to see it. I am a native of NYC and knew a lot of people that died that day. And also the fact of what you mentions Cani. It's as if whoever Nicholas Cage played is the real hero while everyone else just kind of was there.

 

[CmdrFly]

You gotta be shitting me, they're doing a movie like this?

I don't know anyone who was involved in or suffered from 9/11. Never been to NYC, hell I never even been to the USA... but I still won't see this movie.

Sometimes I wish producers, writers, directors, and actors would see beyond the net worth of a movie. They'll all be saying "this movie was really different to me, it struck a chord blah blah blah". But deep inside they're just waiting to sit back and count the stacks that flow in from the curious public who will pay to see stuff like this.

 

[meeze]

Don't really get why someone wouldn't see it on the strength that the event that its based on was covered so much in the press. We've made and enjoyed movies based on tragedy made far sooner than 5 years, whats the difference with this one?

 

[Elemmire]

fuck 9/11.. I'm getting so tired of hearing about it and such shit. I know it happened.. people died.. big deal. People die every day every second.. and others are born. Meh..

 

[Ryuoho]

I'm going to see it.

Out of respect for those that died, and to help remind of why I joined the U.S. Navy.

That's the type of shit I don't care for.

 

[Tyrath]

Don't even have a response for ele...

I agree with what cmdr said basically. People need to stop thinking of everything as possible money ;x Why anyone would make a movie of this, or watch it I don't know.

Thanks for your comment, it's truely appreciated. I guess you could say the same thing as the holocaust eh? Oh Jews and other people were killed everyday cause they were Jews, oh well people just die everyday no biggie, it's life. I guess we should stop helping people in Africa, since you know..people die, it's normal, let it be.

How bout the tsunami that hit Sri Lanka (sp?) We shouldn't of helped cause you know, people die everyday, it's normal. Same with, hm Katrina

If you really think about that event, gtfo my country thanks. ^^

Anywhoo..I still don't want to see the movie. I don't think we should take this event and make it turn into a moneymaker for Hollywood..but eh..I guess it's too late for that, seeing past events like movies about Pearl Harbor. /sigh

 

[Elemmire]

People die, it happens.. it's ashame but what are you gonna do about it? They aren't even doing this out of respect anymore but to get money. That's what I really hate. It pisses me off when hollywood does that. Have respect and be upset for those that died and those that lost but there's no reason for people to use it as a source of money. It's not 9/11 itself that's pissing me off but those people that wanna make money off of it.

 

[Valcristiel]

Ele lol... Pretty damn shallow thing to say...but then again you probably didn't have any family or friends who died that day. Even then...those were innocent people who didn't deserve that shit.

That's the type of thinking that irritates the hell out of me.

As for the movie...lol Hollywood, no fucking thanks.

well be happy i never had to save your ass from choking or rescue you from a burning building because i'd pretend i never saw your ass if thats how you actually feel. fuck 9/11 may be your opinion but mine of you is FUCK YOU.
as a firefighter in training i despise ignorance like this. MAKES ME FUCKEN SICK.

[Elemmire]

bwahah! like I care if I die. It's bound to happen sooner or later. If it's to be sooner than later.. than so be it. You act like I care about life or death.

 

[mysticalone]

na actually i couldnt care if u died either. get it right. bwahah!

 

[Elemmire]

where did I say you'd care, huh? Learn to read, k?

 

[Canitoch]

If this is going to be one big flame war..then I think this topic should be locked. Elemmire, you have a right to have opinions, but if your opinion is "Oh 9/11 is bleh..people die all the time" WHy post it?

To the rest of us, 9/11 was tragic, people died, friends family died. I highly doubt you would be like "Oh well we will die anyways" if you were on that airplane and were about to fly right into the tower. I HIGHLY doubt that unless you somehow got rid of all of your emotions.

If your not going to contribute to the topic, why post? This was a thread talking about a movie, If you don't like it DON'T POST, we dont need to hear your comment. Thanks.

It was 2000 or so people. Comparing it to the 3 million jews that died in the holocaust does a disservice to the people that died in concentration camps.

I won't go see this movie either, because I hate theaters, not because of what it's about.

Yes hollywood wants money and will do anything to get it. What else is new.

Why not get pissed over something worth your time as opposed to a movie? How bout the fact that the people who organized 9/11 are still alive? How bout the fact that more people have died from exposure because they are mentaly ill, can't take care of theirself and noone cares enough to do anything but step over them in the street? How about the fact that more people in the US end there own life every year than the ones that died in 9/11? Or the fact that 2000 people die every 2 days from Tobbaco use.

Life is sacred, Sure, as a whole. The people that lost someone that day are not likely to ever forget about it or get over it. The movie will not make a difference in thier lives.

If you want to care about something, care about your nieghbor, ask them how life is treating them. Care about your Grandma, go see her. Care about your friends. Don't care about (yet another) piece of shit movie about a day when .000001% of americans were killed because foriegn countries think we're all evil bastards like the people we elect [read: apoint].

Of course there are many things to worry about. This thread wasn't created for those other things though. Take it to another thread.

Getting told that the 42 people I know that died that day and degrading it is not something I am about to just brush off my shoulder.

I never said you should just brush it off. But some piece of shit movie isn't gonna change what happened in any way. It has no effect on anything except the mindless sheep that go see it then feel sorry for Nicholas cage for 2 hours.

It was particularly bad if you lived in New York and knew people there. It affected you on a personal level along with many other people. But to compare it to the holocaust is rediculous, and to say it's the worst thing that ever happened is to turn a blind eye to the rest of societies problems.

Perhaps it was the worst thing that ever happened to those 2000 people and the people that survived them.

How many times can a man turn his head and pretend he just doesn't see?
...
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?

Is the answer blowing in the wind? No. There is no answer. People are evil so other must die. To mourn those you lost is ok for a while, but you do them a disservice by mourning forever and not enjoying what was prematurely taken from them on account of politics and religion clashing.

I'm not saying you should try to change the world, saying you should live your life and be happy the way your friends would have wanted you to if they were alive.

United 93 was bad enough. I always wondered how much time would have to pass for the Hollywood folks to decide it was OK to try to profit off of another tragedy...I guess five years. Not too bad considering people have been trying to make money off of what happened since the day it happened. There was a car that had obviously been at Ground Zero parked outside my building in Brooklyn the afternoon of the tragedy and people were picking pieces of rubble and dust off of it to sell on EBAY.

I will not see this movie. Regardless of whether it honors the deaths of the people who were murdered that day or if it's just a money-making venture, I cannot live relive that day again. It's the same reason I can't go down to Ground Zero...too painful. The only thing that would bring me down there is if they set-up a memorial with all the names of the people who were killed.
