"UNITED 93" A MUST SEE!

Yesterday I took the opportunity to watch , "United 93, " the just released film about the flight that went down in Pennsylvania on September 11. There has been a little controversy about this film. Some say that it is too early and that we do not need to be reminded on film of that events of 9/11. Personally I believe that reminders such as this film is exactly what we need for what took place on September 11 is why we fight and why we must and will defeat those responsible and terrorism throughout the world. The movie is filmed in real time, meaning that each moment in the film follows the time line as it happened. The film not only takes place on the flight based on flight recordings and the numerous telephone conversations that originated from United 93, but also follows the events of 9/11 in the air traffic control centers that were involved in tracking the planes and making tough decisions based on available data. The air traffic scenes are filmed using the actual people who were on the boards on 9/11 and not actors. The director of the film met with each of the families of the passengers and crew of United 93 in their homes before he began filming to discuss with them their thoughts about a film of this type. Without exception the families agreed that the film must be produced so that the detailed story of what their loved one did could be told. The result is a film that will remind each of us of the hero's and first to fight in the War on Terror as well as the first victory though it came at a tremendous cost. The emotions of sorrow and anger that we felt on 9/11 become just as real as they were on the day we were attacked. The film is a wonderful tribute and reminder of the heroes on United 93. Though because of the films content it is an emotional experience to watch it is well worth your time and you will be glad you watched it. The heroism displayed by the brave passengers of United 93 and the sacrifice that they made on 9/11 stand as a beacon of bravery and sacrifice in the annuls of American history.
