Is the film 'World Trade Center' worth seeing?

Answer 1

I don't think so, everyone already knows the ending.

Answer 2

I really wasn't sure if I wanted to see the film. I remember watching the TV, glued to it, for answers to the questions that I never will have answered as to how something so horrible could happen. This film doesn't attempt to try to answer that question, instead it looks at the spirit of people and how we can come together to help others. I am so glad I went to see this! It is a powerful work of film that tells the story without sensationalizing the event and the anger and hatred for the attackers following the attacks. It's a film of last words and feelings we tend to develop after years in a relationship. There are tears of joy, laughs, and tears of sorrow interlaced throughout this film with Strong acting from a huge cast including Nicolas Cage and Michael Pena.Totally recommend this film although it may certainly be tough for those that lost loved ones in the buildings.

Answer 3

I went to go see that movie about a week ago. It really was done in good taste. I still found it very difficult to watch at times, and I dont think that I would want to see it again...it was very powerful. I recommend it to people curious about understanding better the plight of those in the financial district that day. However, I honestly would not recommend it for people with first hand experiences losing loved ones on that horrible day. The movie does praise and honor the firefighters and police heroes of 9/11.

Answer 4

Isn't it ironic?

Americans live through and even emotionally bounce back from one of the most horrific (and sadly preventable) events of modern terrorism. T

hey watch spellbound for a week straight as newscast after newscast replays endlessly the horrors of New York City and Washington, D.C.destruction in both shock and disbelief.

So many bodies lined up endlessly in black, nondescript body bags piled in pile after pile seemingly everywhere. Endless smoke and rubble, loud crying voices so full of pitiful despair and pain that to most watching elsewhere it was almost a Hollywood movie gone bad.

So now, after "time has healed all wounds" Americans now flock to theaters in droves to relive all this pain, horror and sadness once again.

Watching and now also perhaps wondering why an ever viligant nation perhaps (we'll never really know will we?) let it's guard down, or was at least humbled somehow for a few brief moments on one fateful day.

The 20th Century "Day of Infamy" no doubt!

So now, we sit in overpriced movie houses eating overpriced food in comfortable Barc-a-lounger seats and relive all this again.

Why one asks?

To "honor" the dead?

Lest we "forget" let's keep reminding ourselves?

To "pay tribute" to those who "made the ultimate sacrifice".

For making us aware that trying to force our belief systems and cultural values on an planet now that we're the "dominant Superpower" somehow makes us also the world's new "impartial" judge and jury.

You tell me something before you go see this film...

If (God forbid!) you were a Kennedy and you grew up watching over and over your father's head explode into a shattered bloody ball all over your mother's dress one day in Dallas, 1963 how would you feel?

Voyeuristic perhaps?

Wanna guess how Teddy and the others feel each time they see this?

There's a reason "time heals all wounds". Learn from history if you can.

Live your life by the first line of a doctor's Hippocratic Oath "First, do no harm"

But relive the past, even the near past, in order to "enterain" to "make a buck or two".

Why not perhaps make a video game also for X-Box "Can You Go Kill The Terrorists Before We Crash This Plane And Kill All On Board?"

Yeah, go see the film! Make a Hollywood studio rich and "pay your respects" as soon as you hand the cashier a Jefferson!

Movies aren't cheap anymore you know! SMILE!

Answer 5

Its basically giving money to people who are trying to make a profit off a horrible and horrific event. They claim that they are trying to portray the horridness, but if this were true, all profit would go towards those who lost their love ones because of the attacks of 9/11. And i havent heard of any such donation, so im not going!

Answer 6

i dont think so. i think this movie was made way too early for the world to relive it again. 5 years i mean, cmon.. its just to make money obviously and it's not like anybody has forgotten about 9/11 even if they werent affected. its like the same thing as making a movie about wwI or wwII or any other similar tragedies a few years after!

Answer 7

NO, NO, A MILLION TIMES NO! Nicholas Cage is just overly cheesy. And the person that said it is a "need to see", it has been 5 years this September, what don't we already know about 9-11?

Answer 8

Nah you have seen it all on the TV! The actual events are much more scarier...I would say that this film is for babies!
But the movie was long and boring and yet suspenseful but whatever!

Answer 9

I have hurd that they only save 3 ppl and its very long, and is not that good, so i guess it would not be worth seeing.

Answer 10

Its worth renting - not seeing in the movies...or u can just wait till FX or TNT bring it out on tv...
