I just watched this, WOW, the most moving film i think i have ever seen.

Thats a proper response!!!

Interestingly the film was panned by the critics Stateside who expected a far more critical account of the day from someone with Stone's track record of films surrounding the Vietnam issue. They seemed to regard it as sugary and lachrymose. Not sure how you avoid the emotions though on subject matter such as this

This side of the water the critical reception to it was warmer

Personally I thought it was an excellent film, more so because it represented a departure from Stone's normal work and seemed to convey a genuine respect to the scale of events on that day.

How does the film show the events, is it built around a set of characters who were in the building or fire dept? I'll probably make an effort to watch this over the weekend

real life story of two port police caught under the collapsed towers for days

[nirvana]

This weekend was watching a conspiracy film on youtube called 9/11 Mysteries - no great hypothesis on the why (though some suggestions made) but a very clear case for the collapse of the towers not being a structural failure based on the planes hitting.

I found the whole thing interesting and the details surrounding why on earth Tower 7 collapsed later in the day to be very compelling arguments for the fact that the buildings fell as result of controlled demolitions.

I know it's a bit unrelated but it was on my mind. Anyway, I'm now convinced the WTC collpasing was not only as a result of planes hitting it.

I didn't really like it.

I must admit I hated it from the minute I knew it would be Stone who had the first film out about it.

United 93 was more to my taste.

I can understand that. Everyone I went with hated it too.

WTC wasn't that bad - I guess I told myself I wasn't going to like it well before I entered the cinema.

 ive seen flight 93 , but havent seen wtc , i might get it out on dvd and have a look , is Nicholas Cage in it ?

 cos i think hes tosh

 might not bother if he is.

 i agree with nirvana on this subject , steel buildings dont just fall down like that. only 3 in history ( all on that day )

 but i also agree with wardonkey , dont start this again
