I thought heshe said he/she cried while watching a fictional movie, based loosely on an event that happened 5 years ago.
Since virtually nothing that happened on that plane is known by anyone except those who died in it, anything except the transcripts of a few phone calls is pure speculation.

Well I could care less about how accurate the events were in the movie.. the fact is, it is a reminder that a real plane full of real people who were mothers and fathers, and sisters, and brothers and children crashed and burned because of some hate filled enemies of our country.

That is what is upsetting.... whether or not the details of the movie were exact is absolutely irrelevant...

Yeah, and I went through all those realizations 5 years ago. I have no need whatsoever to go through them again.

fair enough... but I think every so often... it's important to confront them again...
 
lol. I am not into conspiracy theories but even to all of you it should be obvious that it is more likely for us to shoot down that plane then to have all those ppl do what they supposedly did in the movie. I am not saying we shot it down cuz i really don't know. I was in the US Air Force yet they never told me what really happened =\ lol
but regardless of what happened i would not believe anything in that freakin movie, no one survived so there is no way of telling what really happened. SO lame, definitely not worth the tears of the OP

I think the severeity of the emotions that you ellaborated on carry certain reservations for most people.

Personally, I would have reserved such viral and truly disorienting emotions for documentaries like '9/11' and memories of that day via video clisp etc.

While it was a depiction of a real event, it is simply to wayward, too much of an idealistic depiction of events that aren't even certain, to sway my opinions of that day.

Those movies were depictions of events that were unbelievably worse, frankly, unintelligeible when they occured, and fiction/depiction will never ever have the impact on me that the real thing did. I was in utter shock. It was so fvking unreal.

If anything, people aren't really ragging on you for your patriotism;but because you cried after seeing a drama like a panzy😀

There is no question that everyone, EVERYONE, will remember that day.

I thought it was a pair of Lesbian Lebanese Blonds....go figure...
 
I cried during World Trade Center. When they found the two trapped port authority guys and the Marine says "We're not leaving, We're the Marines, you are our mission." -- I lost it and doubled over in tears in my seat.

My GF looked at my like WTF?

Now that one I want to see...
 
Many of the same people who don't want to be "bothered" with the memories are the ones who bitch and moan about Bush and 9/11 anyway. Go figure.

O RLY?
 
More or less films that were made to instill patriotic feelings by using true-life based events. One could say this is a type of propaganda. No one knows the specifics that happened on that flight, we just know the general truth from about a couple minutes of audio and what happened afterwards. Everything else is pure speculation and should be taken in as historical fiction.
 
illl see this movie probably at some point in time, but movies of this genre just scream propaganda to me and i DONT like being fed overly dramaticized horsesh1t

You know I honestly didnt feel like the movie went overboard at all... they didnt particularly make anyone out to be heroes who weren't. It was just the pure intensity of the day...




 
I'm with you Doboji. I saw a History Channel re-enactment, dramatized to the best of their knowledge...and my emotions were in full tilt. It's going to take me a while to watch the United 93 movie.
