"We Have Some Planes......"

Well today I went and saw the object of controversy in the media right now.....United 93. I really didn't want to see it but I felt that it was important that I did see it so that I would truly understand the sacrafice the people on that plane made. This wasn't ones of those movies where I showed up, slapped down my money with a smile on my face, ran to the concession stand to buy some popcorn, and then happily trundled to the theatre. It was as far from that as possible. In fact, when the theatre came into my view a feeling of dread rose up in my stomach. Why? Well it is quite obvious.....I knew that I was about to witness a firsthand account of over 40 people who fought bravely for their lives but ultimately lost them. I must say that I have researched September 11th extensively and I have never seen a film that sticks more to the facts. This film does not attempt to glorify violence nor does it treat the passengers as super-heroes. It is simply a real-time account of what did happen on that plane and what could have happened. So I do recommend viewing this film if for no other reason that just as a reminder of what a huge price some have to pay for the freedome we enjoy and take for granted every single day. Be warned however, this film is rated R and is not afraid to show violence. It is brief but what is there is very powerful.
