World Trade Center

I wasn't sure I wanted to see this movie. Wasn't sure I was ready to see it with the images of September 11, 2001 still in my mind. But my cousin Mark and several other people had recommended it, so I rented it. Wow, it packs an emotional wallup. But far from the depressing movie I was expecting, it is actually pretty uplifting. Director Oliver Stone says this is the love story he has been wanting to do. The story focuses on two Port Authority Policemen who are trapped in the rubble of the fallen towers. You get to know them, their families whose love keeps them going and the brave rescuers who put their lives on the line in an attempt to get them out. After you watch it, go back and watch it again with the commentary from the people who were there. You get a real perspective on what those hellish days were like. They sum it up best when they say September 11 showed us the worst human beings can do to each other, but also showed us the best we can be.
