<p>I see that there are comments in this thread about participants’ personal involvement with the events in the film, so I’ll mention some of mine. I used to travel all over the United States as an interpreter for official visitors to this country. I have been to New York City more times than I can remember, and was up on top of the World Trade Center several times on bright, sunny mornings just like the morning of the attack. As a frequent flyer, I even used to sit in the airliner cockpit before takeoff and chat with the flight crew back in the good, old innocent days. As the movie United 93 makes clear, the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001 was an attack on America, and I hope every American who can deal with that reality does deal with that reality, and keeps participating in activities that eventually make such an attack impossible to recur. </p>
<p>Because I have stood on top of the World Trade Center and looked across New York harbor on a peaceful day, the attack was very personal to me. But the response to the attack over the next several years will be even more personal, and have even more influence on my life and the lives of my children. I would rather have Americans watching a movie about the actual events of the attack than watching trash like RV or Silent Hill.</p>
