Maybe some of you might be as surprised as I am to hear about a movie on 911. Does anyone else think that it may be too soon for this movie? Maybe I am alone but living at DC during this time made 9-11 affect me more than the average American. One of my best friends was in the Pentagon when the plane crashed into it and set it on fire. And although I didn't know anyone that was killed during the attacks, the media coverage during this time really affected me. I had nightmares about planes crashing into buildings - with me unable to escape. I actually saw my body going up into flames while I tried to go down the fire escape. In my head, I saw the planes crashing into the World Trade Towers over and over again. I have the media to thank for their coverage and replay of all things horrific concerning this tragedy. And if those images, related stories, and nightmares weren't enough, I had to drive by the burning Pentagon on a sometimes daily or weekly basis.
I am willing to admit that perhaps I am being too sensitive but maybe, just maybe, America didn't need to re-live this tragedy soo soon to make Hollywood richer. Let's see how it does at the box office.
