United 93
Jen and I saw
this film tonight. Very powerful and very well done.
The Writer and Director Paul Greenglass played it very straight relying just on telephone calls and flight recorder data for the conditions on the airplane. He could have "tarted it up a bit" and tried to flesh out the characters and provide a backstory but he didn't and this makes the film that much more powerful.
I was expecting it to make me sad but it ignited that burning pit of anger in my gut that had been slowly turning into embers since the original 9/11. I was pissed as hell then and I am just as pissed if not more now.
Regardless of your political views, you should see this on the big screen. Those idiots that started blathering about "Why do they hate us so much" simply do not get it -- this is a pathological culture. These people are truly evil, their false prophet Mohamed (Pigs be upon his name) is the prophet of Satan, not the true God. The people in power have suppressed all that is good about the Middle Eastern culture.
As I have said before, my first wife was a Sufi and I had the great delight in meeting many wonderful Persians and Arabs. Some of the most gracious people in the world. The Sufi's have the concept of polishing you're heart so that it may reflect God's love to the world.
The people in charge these days have no love, only hate and lust for power.
