WTC

M and I saw Oliver Stone's World Trade Center on Friday night.

World Trade Centre was a powerful movie. I'm glad that it wasn't politicised. I didn't miss the fact that they didn't mention who steered those planes into the Twin Towers. That wasn't the true point of the story. It was showing the true heroics of people who knew something bad had happened. It was about community togetherness. It was about bonding over a common ground.

Did it need to be said who did the attacking? No. We know who did it. It was an amazing film. 9/11 gets politicised so much, it was nice to see a movie that just dealt with what happened, no conspiracy theories, just what two men went through.

All in all, I thought this was a well-done film. It’s important enough to remember, to see and witness 9/11 through someone else’s eyes and to reignite good and right priorities in your life. There’s something about staring down the struggle for life and death through someone else’s eyes, that has a way of helping you shift around your priorities.

It’s a great film - I cannot say that enough. I cried through about an eighth of the film, but it wasn’t so difficult as to be nearly unbearable. It helped me to level my heart out a bit and helped me remember. ~ Inspira
