While I was on vacation, I saw the movie, World Trade Center. I thought I'd better post about it.

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS.

It made me cry. It's not a manly thing to do, but so will you.

Dizzcuzz.
 
I heard it was a very bad movie and very inaccurate (For example, the people WALKED out SINGLE FILE). (thats what I heard atleast)

Not the right word to describe the slaughter of over two thousand innocent people...

anyway, i dont really want to see it, i saw the real thing.

Not at all. >_> It's based on a true story.
Well that's how it would be inaccurate. >.<

But I mean that I heard people said they walked out of the tower in single file... which obviosly didn't happen.
 
It's based on a true story.
Based on.

I don't understand the point of the film. Why watch it when you have a wealth of footage available from the actual event?

I hear the effects are better in the real version, too.

That actually did happen, people walked out single file, there was SOME order in the buildings at the time.

However once they left it was chaos.

You're right, I didn't see it. But if you want to read what I read about it, well this is where I got the "I heard" stuff from: http://support.invisionfree.com/index.php?showtopic=286190
And you trust that kids judgement, why?




"I'm not one to rate movies, as I don't get paid for it, but this movie was so atrocious, something has to be said. Now, before I begin I will say that I have seen just about every non-R-rated movie this year, so I'd say I know a fair bit about movies"

Well thats helpful, afterall Hollywood knows everything about the world.



"For a documentary-esque movie it was full of inaccuracies. First off a police officer sees a plane fly over head at about 100 feet, then hears a crash, and has no idea what's going on."

Maybe the fourty-dozen times it was repeated wasn't enough, People thought the plane hitting the tower was an accident, that is, until the second one hit.



"Then you see people walking out of one of the towers in a single file line. Now I'm no expert on what people do when a plane rams the building their in, but I'd expect they'd run . . . like hell."


The Police did one hell of a job keeping order, thats correct.

not to mention the people in the towers knew nothing more than "there was a fire", if there's a fire 54 floors above you, you wont exactly be screaming and clawing hand and foot trying to get out.

they didn't know it was a terrorist attack til the second plane hit.



"Then you see several people covered in blood walking around without complaining about pain, or running for help. Then the second plane hits, and the 5th floor crumbles."

Ever heard of "Being in Shock"? it happens, you could get both your arms sawed off and not feel anything for a lengthy period of time.



"Now, I haven't studied this event much"

Well thats certainly understandable, seeing from what you just said it sounds like you were a toddler when this all took place.


"but I don't think the 5th floor was effected."

Guess what, the building COLLAPSED.



"The acting was also very sub-par, the begging took way too long, and you felt no emotion from the characters."

Yeah, believe it or not, there is no character development in a documentary... what are you expecting to see? a hollywood edition of the movie? hell no, if you're making a documentary, you're not going to throw in characters to follow, this film is about an event, not a person.




Honestly, that kid is a moron... i cant believe you trusted that as a reliable source, storm.
