United 93

I saw United 93. I took the two oldest fearing the two little ones might have nightmares.

There is no controversy. None. It's not a "movie." It's an historical record. There is no editorial. None. It is a bare bones retelling of the day war was declared on America.

The "controversy" is a liberal tactic to shut everyone up --  they hate when we are reminded of 9/11. They want to close their eyes and make it go away. This  brouhaha over the film is a shame on us, a shame on America. The walking on eggs is a travesty. One can only imagine how stunned the victims of the 9/11 attack would be if they knew that their deaths became the third rail. There is even controversy on the marketing of the film. Michele Malkin talks about this on Hot Air,  raising a fuss about the u93.org site 

Yes, they have two different sites. Universal's online advertising directs people to the bad site. Newspaper articles are linking to the "good" one. There's a very fascinating dual marketing strategy going on here.

The regular American Joes and Janes on Flight 93 were great Americans, giants. They define heroism, not some manufactured hero made up to fit some demagogues agenda (Che, Tookie et al) - real heros. Their story should be in every American textbook and history lesson, the lips of school kids everywhere. Retold against spacious skies and amber waves of grain.

America, America G-d shed his grace on thee.

I agree with you completely. It is our duty as Americans to go see and support this movie. I saw it the first show on Friday and it was an honor and a privilege to go see it with a theater FULL of people. People think that the only people affected were people in NY, D.C. Well, I live in Albuquerque N.M. and everyone I know and have talked to support the movie and have gone to see it. You need to take your families to go see what true heroes look like and how they act. Not movie stars, athletes or musicians. True American Heroes who only thought about the rest of the country rather than about themselves.

My family and I will see this movie as soon as it shows in my area.

My sons will see this movie with me, so they will understand what REAL Hero's are.

Thank you for this blog, and thank GOD for the internet.

The whole "its too soon" mantra parroted by the Mainstream Media hacks is the perfect demonstration of how the left and their lackeys desire to infantalize the American public.

I said the same thing on my blog, America *needs* to see this film.

Anyone who stays close to the true sources for the movie (which Greengrass did), can't go wrong.

This statement from a daughter of one of the heroes fis completely sympatico with A.S.: "This story is about standing up for what you believe in, never letting fear take over. And doing everything you possibly can until you can't." It slipped under
the MSM's radar.
