i have to agree with you all in ways we will never forget that and i also agree that it is too early to be showing it
also i noticed a White Discovery about 1/3rd of the way through just after the Bus with the police officers on and there is a view from the front of a police vehicle you see an RCN van and it is just in front of that :lol:
Yes i am sad :lol: :lol: :lol:
strapping young lad:
thinking about it though if this film had such an effect on opinion here imagine what it was like for the americans esp the new yorkers.
im pretty sure if anyone had anything to say about releasing this it would be them
rangerider:
Why are some of us disgusted/upset but they are not?
Why was there not a fuss over the movie of flight 94?
Despite having a similar language, the culture the other side of the atlantic is very very different.
I shall not repeat my comments from other forums unless requested to do so as they are quite possibly very controvesial due to a level of personal/professional involvement.

To be perfectly honest, speaking as somebody who has spent a lot of time working & socialising with americans both in the UK & the US, and who has that day forever in the back of their mind at work, the vast majority of of europeans do not really appreciate just what a blow to the american psyche that day was.
Having lived with terrorism in major cities here in the UK people are far more inclined to take it in their stride, however events here, Omagh, Manchester, Harrods, whilst terrible are not in the same leauge. Imagine if the only time the UK had been targeted directly in any major way was Gibraltar being bombed just once, but never invaded over 60 years ago, and there was no Blitz, Hitler was never as close as just the other side of the channel. Then to have Canary Wharf, Whitehall and Edinburgh Castle targeted.
To be honest, If someone is to find this movie awful, the same should apply to The Dambusters, Reach For The Sky, Ice Cold In Alex, each of which portrays how people cope with adversity in time of conflict. On a side point, in the US now, cops & firemen are seen and protrayed as heros, compare that to here where they are targets.
I apologise if this is too political for this forum.
