 Rating:  - A Truely Moving FilmThis is a very well put together movie. Emotional, heart rending and devestating. The ending either brings tears to my eyes or makes me cry, without fail every time I watch it. The vision of the ground rushing up to meet you and then blackness really sticks in your mind. Rating: - United 93This is a respectful, well-acted, honest, and as scrupulously accurate a cinematic account of the tragic flight of United 93 as we are probably ever going to see. For the few of you who don't know (and for you "Truthers" who disrespectfully call people "sheeple"), United 93 was the fourth plane hijacked on September 11, 2001.

Was the plane headed for the Capitol? (personally, I think it more likely it was headed to the Pentagon, just as 2 planes ... Read More Rating: - feels real?You want reality? People want to talk about a movie being realistic and people talk about real events being movie-like. People that were even at historic events will say "it was like a movie". How can you ever know what it would be like to be on a plane that you and everyone on board knows is going to crash? You can't. It transcends waking consciousness. It still can be imagined, however. It can be portrayed in such a way as to give you the viewer *some* idea -I really believe this after seeing UNITED ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
