I thought the film was morbid and sick and relives one of the worst days of American history. What little part there was at the end about 'hope' and 'heros' was by that point rendered cheezy by the heavy sobs and crying I already heard in the theatre from the horror of the reality of the situation. No one is ever ready to relive the worst day of their life. Do see this film if you feel like committing suicide...it will put you 'in the mood'.
The above poster who put the reply, spews nothing more then meaningless drivel and opinionated rant.

Focus on the words spoken by Jimeno. He's the one speaking the truth here. My heart and gratitude go out for humans just like him... Bravo Jimeno! - Al (Berkeley, CA)
The movie looked at the real struggle and the good in Americans that happened at that time. It was not like Titanic which took a tragedy solely to entertain you by showing you top notch special effects of people dying. I'm like many of you when it comes to movies about such horrific disasters that really happened in the sense that I feel they should never be made, but with all the hate that rose from the ashes of 9-11, I'm proud of a movie that can make us remember a time when we reached out to one another and helped regardless of color,race, or religion. Bravo WTC.
Ignore the comments made by the miserable-at-heart BILL. He has no sense of what is right and good and healing. It is good for us to see what those poor people went through. It is respecting what those who both died and survived went through. What Bill said is very disrespectful and ignorant. He just wants to bury his head in the sand and ignore reality. Good luck Bill..moron!
Dear all,
The poor guy,Bill..he was probably born with no heart.
True,nobody really likes to relive the worst horror in modern
humankind.The movie and everything that memorialises the collapse
of the World Trade Centre serves to remind us, indeed just
'what evil human beings are capable of.'
I live in Malaysia,thousands of miles away from NYC but my heart went
out to people who lost their loved ones at the WTC 9-11 collapse.
That day, i wept for them.,i felt an acute, desperate ache.A crazy rage consumed me.I realised that something in me died.
My sense of worth,my dignity as a human being- died that day.I was so ashamed to be a member of this species.
...How did we come to this!!?
No, Bill,i didnt get suicidal watching the movie.Instead,I felt uplifted to see the comraderie,the human bond,the resilience of these survivors.
I am so sorry you didnt see that,Bill.
The movie commemorates a great gash in human history and even as itr heals,the movie becomes something of a scar..to remind us that it DID happen and we do not want history to repeat itself.
so,Thank you Mr.Oliver Stone.
