united 93
well... another movie off my list... united 93 is the first of the 9/11 movies that are coming out... basically based on the united airlines flight 93 that was meant to hit washington and the peeps on board fought back and ended up smashing the plane into a field...
anyways, the film was pretty powerful and full on... it really felt more like a documentary rather than a film... the use of hand-held camera work and casting pretty much unknown people and people that lived and worked around the tragedy ...
directed by paul greengrass who made "bloody sunday" & "bourne supremacy" does a really good job at just telling the story, not making it stylised or glorified at all... just basically telling the facts and keeping it real "dawg"
the film had some pretty "ouchy" moments, the audience was going "oohh" and "aww" when people got stabbed, and even though i had scene the footage of the planes hitting the trade center i still got a HUGE chill all through-out my body that lasted for a while..
the film ends quite suddenly but im glad it finished when it did... i really think it's a film everyone should see, powerful and moving and it's an excellent tribute to the people that died that day...
