I lost a close friend who was in Tower 2.... I have no desire to re-live that time.

I just think memories fade, even horrific ones and this will put it back at the front of peoples minds, where it needs to be IMHO

Same here.

Hollywood glorifies tragedy!!

Real life disasters need to be put to rest and not glorified!!!

I'm a big Nicholas Cage fan and try to catch all of his movies. Plus I think it'll give people more of an insight into what happened from the officers point of view. Before this movie's hype, I'd never heard of John McLoughlin.

I didn't even know they were making a movie, but yes I'd like to watch it, because I'm a movienatic

Here is one of the movie's reviews:

Sounds like a good movie to me... I would like to watch it.

Probably not. I don't like Oliver Stone for one thing - I don't think he's a particularly good director, and he has a tendency to inject use his movies as advertisements for his politics.

9/11 is already burned into the minds of everyone who saw the towers burning, I don't really think its necessary to mythologise the events in a movie.

It's upsetting, and no one wants to re-live that, after losing a loved one or not, BUT we cannot forget what happened 5 years ago. As well as all the other tragic things. It's a part of history. It was bound to make the headlines, and probably will for years to come. The most important thing is to remember those who lost their lives, not to make life miserable for those dealing with the pain of losing a loved one. So, with that said, I am undecided.

Lord no ... I started crying hysterically just from watching the trailer. Maybe in a few decades, on DVD.

It's been a bit weird being across the country now ... there's more of a tendency to think of it as something people saw on TV. I grew up seeing the Twin Towers outside my bedroom window, so it's a little more real to me, I think. Thank God I didn't know anyone who died, but I knew a lot of people who had near misses or who did know someone who died.

Similar here... I live on Long Island, about an hour east from the city. Nearly EVERYone in my high school knew someone that was killed there, or who was nearly killed there. We had a big scare with my dad, who was out there at the time. It was added terror because if something ELSE happened, we couldn't evacuate the island! The ONLY way off this island is bridges and tunnels through the city... flying... or taking a ferry to Connecticut. With so many people on this island boats wouldn't be able to take us all, and there was no way we'd get on a plane after that happened. We were trapped.

So believe me, that horror is ingrained into my head pretty well. I can remember without watching the tradgedy and re-playing events, depressing and scaring myself over again as I'm still stuck on this island with the fear that, again, something could happen and I wouldn't be able to evacuate. I can't WAIT til my fiance is here, we clear the immigration hurdles, we save enough money, and we re-locate to Virginia!

So, that's my opinion. Remembering, for me, doesn't mean replaying tragic events over and over.

I don't want to watch a movie about a horrible tragedy that I still remember seeing in real life. Maybe if it was 50 years later, but it's much too soon to dig it up again... DH wants to go see it, but he'll have to go alone.
