Do u think it's too soon for a movie about 9/11 to be released? R U 4 it or against it? Y or Y not? B honest.

Question

I was just wondering about overall opinions on this movie, and flight 93. I thought that was too soon to be aired too. Y are these movies coming out so soon, when movies about traumatic events in the past, didn't come out 'til 20 yrs after the fact? Shouldnt this generation get appropriate greiving time just as other generations did when tragedies struck the country then? Yeah, some people did like flight 93, and people will like the 9/11 movie thought they'llc cry from beginning to end, and people cried from beginning to end when they watched Schindler's List, and other movies based on true stories, but Schindler's List came out in '96, WWII, started and ended in the '40's. That was enough greiving time for those vets, they could handle it. But the trade center happened 5 years ago! We haven't had enough greiving time. This is all my opinion and I can choose not to watch the movie until 2021; I just wanted everyone's educated opinions, since this is a Q&A site. Thank You. Honest reply

Answer 1

It is not too early for the movie to be made, but it is probablly too early for some people to see it. I am split on it, but movies do sometimes serve as a means of telling our stories, of sharing what we feel. Some people may be upset by these movies, but others will be glad for the chance to revisit the good that came out of those events as people came together and served as heroes for so many. I don't see it as profiteering on the graves of our loved ones, as much as I do see it as keeping the importance of their loss alive.

Answer 2

If you ask the relatives of those who died because of 9/11, a large majority of them will say it's not too soon. When was 9/11? 5 years ago, for goodness sake. That's a long time. They made the Flight 93 movie with the blessing of most of the familes affected. So, that should tell you something.

It is not too soon. It is just the right time. Why would we who didn't have loved ones die on that day think we know the answer? We don't. Also, common grieving time for a loved one's death is probabl around a year or two. Well, it's been five years. So let's move on and get over it. If you want to make a movie about, go ahead.

Answer 3

I don't think making movies about 911 is appropriate no matter how well it's done. It is disrespectful to the victims families. Also bothering me is how the actors & studios are making money off this terrible tragedy. Are any of the profits going to charitable causes associated with 9/11 -- maybe that would be a great yahoo question. Some ppl say this would teach ppl about history and what happened that day, but on the other hand I can't believe people don't already know about it, unless they were hiding in a cave since then.

Answer 4

Difficult to say. Personally, as a filmmaker, I feel that the director's intentions of making the film are wholly respectable. Granted, the studios, though with possible "good intentions" of making the film in memory of the people who died, still have the prospect of making money in the backs of their minds. Let's be honest, it's Hollywood.

However, who is to stay when it is a good time to make a film about a tragedy? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. There will always be that one person or that select group that will create resistance.

There are people still out there who feel that it's still too soon for Schindler's List to have been produced, or even Munich. Hotel Rwanda can even be too soon for refugees of Rwanda. Even tragedies like Columbine, Jon Benet's murder, and other headline news have been made into films. Few have given voice about it being too soon for those movies to have been made. But why is it that when it's a tragedy of a larger scale people are shocked. A tragedy is a tragedy. I am in no way ignoring the vastness of 9/11 nor am I saying that events like Columbine and the death of Jon Benet are insignificant, but why the difference?

Grieving aside, some people feel it's necessary to bring light to the tragic events past to learn from them, to make people realize that the possibility of these tragedies happening again is there. As the saying goes, those who forget the past are condemned to re-live it.

Answer 5

I hate the fact that they made this movie now. It hasn't even been 5 years yet! The movie flight 93 tells about facts that happened in the flight. This movie seems to have no real historical facts. It just seems like another one of Hollywood's exploiting ways to make money off of something so real and so sad that was 9/11.

Answer 6

I think it's sick that anyone should capitalize on and make a profit from what happened that day. If all the proceeds from the movie goes to the victims' families, I'll say fine, but I don't think Nicholas Cage needs to pad his bank account with more millions because he's pretending to be one of the police officers that died.

It's not about grieving time to me. It's just a matter of respect to those that lost everything on 9/11. In twenty years, it would be more appropriate to release a movie on the subject, not because we should have shed our tears and moved on by then, but to preserve the memory of the tragedy for future generations. We must never forget.

Answer 7

I have a hard time with any movies concerning 9/11, especially only a few years past it. I'm a history freak, and dig movies on historical events and people, so it probably makes me a hypocrite. Any movie concerning history falls short because the facts are represented however the people making it want them to appear.

It takes money to make movies, and the money people might actually push for changes on anything too "edgy" or controversial for most average Americans.

Answer 8

Well, movies did come out during WWII about that particular war, one of the most famous, "Casablanca" was released in 1942, during the height of the war. Having said that, I'm not planning on going to see the WTC movie, and haven't seen (nor do I plan to see) the Flight 93 movie. Not that I don't think movies shouldn't be made about this subject, but I lived through that day once, and once in my lifetime was enough for me, thank you very much. I definitely don't want to pay $8.00 to be made to feel what I felt on that day.

Answer 9

Actually I don't think it is too soon. We rush through life and all too quickly forget about our fallen Heroes until we are forced to learn about them in some history class. Especially now, we need to remember what those Terrorists put our Country through and fully support our Armed Forces. If it takes dredging up the pain and anger that 9-11 caused us, so be it! We can use those feelings to bring us together as Brothers and Americans just as it did 5 years ago and stand up to ALL Terrorism. I still Pray for the victims/heroes and their families of 9-11 and they will all remain forever in my heart.
