The WTC tagline is:
Every generation has a defining moment… This was ours.
Does anybody else find that kind of wrong? I do. I don't want my generation defined by such a sh*tty event. And the actions taken by the president thereafter.
I'm pretty sure some of you will say the defining moment is not the planes crashing, or the towers falling, its the effort put forth by people to help each other in a crisis. Even so, the effort to help one another is long gone with most people. Now the only that has lasted is the war that began.
I'd rather have my generation defined by something awesome. The cure for cancer or something. Hell, a car that runs on water. Anything that would actually be a benefit to the human race.
But not two planes crashinig into a building...no thanks.
What do you peeps have to say?

I like your attitude. So... when ya' inventing that engine that runs on water?
"Every generation has a defining moment… This was ours." is just the tagline for a movie. Which generation would an event like that define? Yours or mine?
People could say the Vietnam war defined my generation but SO much more has happened in my lifetime than that war. I saw the invention of color TVs, microwaves, VCRs, DVDs, personal computers, the end of smallpox, man walking on the moon and many wars. There are too many brilliant, innovative, defining moments in my lifetime to pick one.
No one incident defines ANY generation. It's just a movie tagline.

I'm furious about the movie- not because I want a better 'defining moment', but because I am horrified that the tragedy of 9/11 was turned into a profit-making movie. Real people died, real people were hurt, real lives were ruined- it's not an event that should be turned into a theatrical event. It should be remembered, but not as a movie- it needs to be remembered as a tragedy, as a horrifying act of terrorism that we can never allow to happen again.
I am insulted and angered by the movie that has been released, and I most definitely not be watching it at any point.

I understand your point.
I haven't seen the movie, so I'm not sure what will be portrayed in it, except those 2 guys surviving.
But I think what the movie is trying to say is that we Americans proved that we have an undying spirit and that when needed, we pull together and help each other no matter what. I agree that the effort to help is long gone, but the memories aren't, so maybe they're trying to remind people of that.
It's a good story of triumph, though, I mean, those 2 survived against all odds, you know? That's pretty awesome! : )

Our defining moment was The Lion King!

I agree. Why does it always have to be something bad that gives a generation a defining moment? Why can't it be a moment that everyone benefited from?

none of the people that hijacked the planes were from iraq. so why are we fighting in iraq? good effin question. i don't really think this is going to answer your question but you said something about war and it made me think of this. whenever i hear the words 9/11 and the war in iraq in the same sentence, i get so pissed off. this war is fricken illegal and we had no reason to start it in the first place. bush needs to be impeached and we need a new president. think about it, we're over there repairing what we destroyed. does that make any sence? whats worse, screwing an intern or screwing the country?

I'm still a bit sensitive about 9/11. I definately think that a movie being made about one person is selfish. Becasue many many people died on that terrible day.
