May. 1st, 2006 06:23 pmJust got back from watching United 93. I'm not sure what to say about it, except that I think it wsa done respectfully and very well.
The theater was silent except for the sound of sniffling, me being one of them. No one said a word as they left. I guess, like me, they were all thinking of that day.
Perhaps it is too soon for this movie. The wound is still scabbing over. People are still bleeding. But if nothing else, I think it is a good thing. People can't be allowed to forget what happened that day. History books can never do it justice, just like we can never know the horror that was Pearl Harbor. Years from now, children will learn about September 11. Perhaps 50 years from now, some second grader will ask his mother what is so important about that day. Perhaps some highschooler will talk to their grandmother and ask her what it was like to watch the towers fall.
I don't think anything can convey the horror I felt that day, that we all felt. But this movie does a good of trying to.
I remember being woken up by my mom on the phone, telling me to turn on the tv becuase we were under attacke. I was shocked. I ran out to the living room and watched as the Towers fell. I watched the aftermath of the plane hitting the Pentagon, and then hearing about another plane that was thought to be taken. Then the horror when it was announced that that plane went down.
I hope we never forget that day. I hope that horror remaians with us for the rest of our lives, so we never forget the lives lost and the sacrifices made.
