United 93: A Humble Review

First of all...let me just say that I believe the MSM has *totally* overblown the “horror” aspect as depicted this film. Yes, it was indeed very intense and at times difficult to watch—but I didn’t think the film went to excess in portraying the events that occurred on Flight 93. I instead found it to be an extremely thought-provoking albeit voyeuristic window into what (we believe) occurred between the passengers and terrorist hijackers.

By comparison, I found the opening of “Saving Private Ryan” to be much more intense in regards to the depiction of sheer panic and horror. Of course, this is just my own personal opinion.

I honestly think that I was more distraught at having to again witness those planes slamming into the WTC than anything else. Those are the images that will always stick with me. The other thing I found most intriguing was just how nerve-wracking and confusing the situation really was for the air traffic controllers/FAA and the military. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I think it’s a good thing to point out what went wrong on that day as well as what went right. Hopefully we’ve learned a lot so in order these scenarios are never again repeated.

As for the overall aesthetics of the filmmaking, I thought Greengrass’s documentary-style was just brilliant. Rather than being a distraction, it only added to the authenticity and urgency of the events. I also appreciated his decision to use unknown actors—and in some instances the real people themselves—to play the lead characters. The casting of A-list actors, especially in the crew & passenger roles, would’ve somehow cheapened the actions of these people.

Incidentally...I have to say that I personally found the new end caption “Dedicated to the memory of all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001” was indeed more appropriate than the original which read “America’s war on terror had begun”. I believe the decision to change it should eliminate the inevitable hissing that would’ve emanated from moonbats in the audience.

Overall, I found this to be an excellent film and highly recommend that everyone see it.

I’m certainly glad I did.

For some time I have wished that someone would execute Ayers & Dohrn, plus the rest of the Wx Underground terrorists,
to compensate us for the screwed up gubbmint prosecution & bring about justice!
Now I see that there are a bunch of idiots engaging in ‘obstruction of justice’ & lying about their terrorist activities & crimes!!
I say round them up & administer Ayers justice to them, like blow them up!  End of problem!

I’m just glad that this is now getting a lot of attention!!
Hopefully the MSM will be forced to tell a little more of the truth about O’possum & his buddy Ayers!!
Apparently CNN is actually doing some acceptable investigative journalism into this!
Sarah’cuda has been unbelievably successful at getting this whole subject back on the front burner with a little help
from the scumbags at NYT!  Whooda thunk it!!  Looks like she’s gonna skin & field dress ol’ O’possum!!

BTW, that state senator, Alice Palmer, was Uh-bama’s mentor—that was until she got bumped down and wanted her state senate seat back and Uh-bambi pulled some Chi-town shennanigans and got her disqualified from the ballot instead of stepping aside as previously agreed.

Uh-bama D’Tool.

What?  What is this?  He is, how is it said, associated with this terror-man?

Would that I could vote in your country my flower.  I should not support this Barack man.

Incidentally, my close, personal friend Mr. Dave in Texas is offering a spa party gathering at his casa next weekend.  Shall I fly you there?  Please say you will wear the flowery sarong.  You will own the gathering, as you do so well.

Ciao!

So this ARMY mom at the gym tonight (lots of ARMY families go there) ....the Obama subject came up ( I have to ask lately)....

She said (and I quote while stifling a titter):
He ain’t black, he’s a MUSLIM !
I know.
I died.

Another gal was chimed in (she was very anxious to share) and said NO WAY for Obama........

Once the floodgates opened up well, it sure was eye opening!

I’ve read what y’all have said & I agree with most of your points & opinions!!
However, I’m going to hold fire because things are happening that are changing
the situation almost daily!  Example, Sarah’cuda’s unloading on O’possum!
Also the MSM starting to do better articles about O’possum’s past associations!

I agree that Mac is not taking advantage of obvious situations & seems overly committed
to remaining Mr. Nice Guy surrounded by uncivilized thugs.
However his campaign seems to have a plan for dealing with the situation
so I’m just going to observe for the time being! The next debate will tell us a lot!!

I have lots of question marks around Mac & I’m not sure he can pull it off!
Hopefully Sarah’cuda can build a fire under him to deal with the reality of the situation!
She may have to step up to the plate for the home team!  The alternative is unthinkable!

Aaaah - but it won’t “shut them the fuck up.” It will only let them reseat the bit more firmly in their teeth and they’ll be running butt nekkid thru the streets with “Fannie May Now” written on their arses.

The multitudinous possibilities are simply too unattractive to be borne.
