Sure it was tragic and it is a day that we as Americans will never forget but to make a movie of the events that unraviled on that plane was so wrong. There was no one on that plane that survived and that is tragic but that only says to us that no one really knows what happened on that plane because no one was there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-1146882512704537932006-05-05T22:28:00.000-04:002006-05-05T22:28:00.000-04:00Sourin, point taken.

Thank you for your comment and hi to a [fellow] Washingtonian. :)<BR/><BR/>My point is that the WW II movies portray something that happened a generation ago. Plus, wars and epidemics don't carry the same import as a terrorist attack.

I too, remember the Day vividly. Living about 10 miles northeast of Pentagon, I can understand Sujatha's comments about the raw nature of that day. <BR/><BR/>There are several instances of art imitating life where you know the end even before the beginning - all those World war movies for example.

We will never forget what we were doing when we heard the news, or how we heard that news on that fateful day.<BR/><BR/>But watch it I would, because every scrap of information that we get on the lives of these people, makes them that much more real in our minds.

I agree, but honestly can any of us forget that day. It is my generations Kennedy assasination. We will all remember where we were when the planes hit the WTC and Pentagon and the field in PA.

Reminds of a dialog in the closing scene of Titanic movie when the guy says he plans to pull up the wreck of the ship, the old lady says "It should remain where it is.
