World Trade Center- Reviewed
I hear New Yorkers loved this movie- and now I know why. The film focuses on the good that happened around 9-11...The remarkable heroism of average Joes, people risking their lives- as Cage's character says, "for no other reason than it was the right thing to do," a Marine hearing the call of God- and answering the call without reservation, the power of love, the will to survive. No Mayor, no President, no Michel Moore.
I understand some of you lost friends and maybe family on 9-11, but this movie is not about loss. I couldn't help but imagine the thousands that perished would be just as brave as those who attempted the perilous rescue. It is a movie about strength, bravery and patriotism.
Negatives. We did view it at Screen #16 @ The Grande at Friendly Center. There was an incredibly loud cricket that never stopped chirping the whole movie. The supervisor knew about it- said they couldn't find it. Also, the sound was off. You could hear the voices well, but either Oliver Stone wanted to tone down the effects or the theater screwed it up.
