Monkey Thoughts

I held the opinion that it was too soon to make a movie about 9/11. It seemed like more exploitation than anything else. But still, this movie peaked my curiosity and I decided to watch it from one of the movie channels this weekend.

One thing I really liked about this film was the sort of documentary type feel. It seemed to be going in real time from location to location. Unlike the A&E version, there wasn't a lot of character buildup. Which sounds strange to say...how can you build character on a person that existed and on events that are pieced together? Regardless of what it would be called, in the A&E, you got some extensive background on everyone, whereas in this, they're just presented as passengers. It's hard to watch something like this when you ultimately know the outcome. There's still tension. There's still the urge to tell them "Don't open the door!" But you don't, because you know what's gonna happen. And even with the sort of jumpy feel from location to location, it didn't disrupt the flow of the movie.
It was definitely worth the watch. It's interesting to watch something like this and just try to place yourself in that position. It wasn't preachy....just raw and real feeling.

Of course, if you're a conspiracy theorist, you will hate this movie and should avoid it.
Oh, and the moon landing was fake too, by the way. Soylent Green? People. Now you know.
