Doves,
I saw the movie Flight 93 this afternoon. I am a Disney type person and
the number of R movies I have seen in my 45 years I can count with one
hand (The Passion of Christ being one of them). This is a movie that
needs to be seen. It is extremely powerful and intense precisely
because it is real life, these people you can related to because you
have been there. After the movie there was just total silence in the
theater.Cautions:
1. The F word is used about 5 times, but in extremely appropriate
places, as normal speech for some people.
2. While the murder of people is done very mutley, there is blood.
3. Depending on where you were when 9/11 happened, you may have some
flashbacks.Good Points
1. It is not a downer movie. It shows people can work togethe to
overcome evil.
2. The movie ends before the plane crash.
3. It has an excellent contrast scene where the hijackers are praying
and the passengers are praying, reciting the 23rd Psalm. It shows the
contrast between people are willing to kill theirselves and others for
their god and people who are willing to lay down their lives to save
others. One worships death, the other celebrates life.
4. It is an extremely powerful and moving film, but not in a bad way,
but in a postive way..I will never forget that day as long as I live, I had just come into
work and they had CNN on, saying a small commuter plane had hit the
World Trade Center. Then a little while later we watched in horror as
the 2nd tower got hit. Then later the news came on that the Pentagon
had been hit. This did bring back those moments because I believe
they used the actually CNN footage (but it is on a TV screen in the
movie). That was when I shed a few tears in the movie, and a few tears
when everyone was saying goodbye to their loved ones.I think they rated it R because it is so intense - if it were not for
the F word, they probably would have given it a PG-13.So screw up your nerve and go see the movie. For Remebrance and to
Honor those who stood up together to stop evil from causing more death
and bloodshed.PepperPot
