United 93

Post by Yi-Long »

On Larry King this morning the subject was the 9/11 story about United 93, the plane where the people attacked the terrorists so it wouldnt crash into a building.

I heard about the movie being made before, but never really took much attention to it, as it just seemed like a made for TV movie TBH, but first reviews and opinions are starting to come in and it's getting a VERY good reaction it seems.

Anyone else interested in seeing this?

LOL, it's funny as such films do contribute to the general and official cover-up of the whole story.

I dont think it raises or answers any questions about the relationship between the Bush administration and Osama, but it's just mainly about that flight (I think!?)
Or are you denying that that flight and the crash happened?

They covered it up well then, and I guess thousands didnt die at all.

No, it's supposed to be that thousands did die, and that the American government let it happen. Apparently...

Yeah, but that doesnt change the fact that those people in that plane died, so it means it could still be a very good movie, as it just focusses (I think) on THAT part of 9/11: the human drama that happened on that flight.

But yeah, I also feel the Bush admin knew this was going to happen, and they kinda allowed it, so they could go ahead with their neo-conservative plans about getting a stronghold in the middle-east.
I'm not sure if they just used Bin Laden, or that Bin Laden is actually helped by the yankees...

I don't believe the Americans knew in advance about 9/11, as such, but they obviously knew more about what happened than they're telling us...

Ah, I saw parts of a docu-drama of this inbetween commercials of another programme I watching at the time. It was being narrated by Keifer Sutherland.

Personally I'm all done with the conspiracy theories just like I am the JFK conspiracy theories.

Until I see some real evidence and I mean real evidence to make me think otherwise I'll continue to believe Al Quada murdered 3000+ people on 9/11. Just like I believe JFK was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald.

As for the film it looks very good. I also hear it's graphic to say the least near the end and many have left the cinema not being able to watch what they were seeing. Imagine how hard it must've been to make?

I do find it interesting that an outsider (British in this case) has been able to make the story yet no American has yet. I wonder if a 7/7 story will come at some point???

Do you mean the American Government or Americans in general?

Goverment, on an intelligence-level. I think...
Plus all the stuff named in 9/11 Loose Change (just need to watch the first 5-10 minutes, available on youtube and bittorrent) will give you more examples of why many now think that people were 'in' on what was going to happen, or at least had a very good idea of what would/could happen.

Government, obviously. I don't believe your Average Joe would find it acceptable to kill thousands of Americans as an excuse to flame an international war nor even turn a blind eye to the possibility.

Ah fuck, directed by Paul Greengrass. Is there an overuse of shaky cam?
