I’m bleeding internally from all that drama. I think I cannot sit for another minute seeing that torture of being trapped in the debris.
-
The attempt to visualize Sept 11 through a micro lens isn’t tantamount to the macro tragedy it caused.
-
Hearing the news of the tragedy in several languages made the cable tv the God of information feeding the world of the somber news.
-
I credit Oliver Stone for coming up with the challenge of incorporating the documentary clips into the movie without overtly stressing on politics even how much he insists that it isn’t a political movie.
-
How the Marine officer went all the way to help the victims made me think if Filipinos would do the same thing had the exact situation happened.
-
And if Filipinos were the ones hovering over the wives or anyone who is related to anyone who is a victim of the collaspe, the entire barangay would be at one house and the guest will be serving refreshments while the entire crowd stays plastered in front of the television. Text messages will be spammed asking for prayers and volunteers for help because there isn’t enough military equipped enough in our country to handle anything like it.
-
The movie is a conveyance of the extent of human endurance under the most traumatic predicament.
-
Stone treads on Christianity by casting Jesus carrying a water bottle. Somehow that was excessive.
-
World Trade The Movie has been personalized yet casting Nicholas Cage’s sensationalized it. But then again, Oliver Stone has always been known not to sell his casting short as presented from last 1991′s JFK The Movie which of course he has had Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman and Donald Surtherland to name a few.
-
…which means that had it been any other movie, like say, some other disaster, would viewers respond to it differently?
-
Why did Jay Hernandez as Pezzulo had to die early? He was cute. Sniff. (See what Stone gets if he has these actors as casts? We lose focus.)
-
Maggie Gyllenhall’s character was very mature and strong.
-
Frank Whaley, the former paramedic’s character was underused.
-
Michael Shannon’s, Sgt. Karnes the marine officer, was exaggerated. He came up creating a Terminator-esque scene walking through the debris and emphasizing the need to help. What lacks is the light emanating behind him and alleluia songs.
-
The movie was supposed to showcase American’s heroism but it fell short compared to Paul Greengrass’ United 93 because of its big name actors and exaggerated storylines.
-
The movie actually made me cry. Thrice.
