I went to see WTC today. It was a very emotional movie from the very beginning of the film (when NYC was waking up that fateful day) to when the 2 police officers were rescued & reunited with their families. The movie only depicts perhaps 10-15 minutes of the towers being hit, to the towers falling. Most of the movie is of the 2 police officers reflecting on their lives and trying to stay alive.
I had mixed emotions as to whether I should see this movie. But I am glad I did. I think I came out of the movie a nicer person. Remember after 9/11 everybody was nice to eachother? I remember that well. Well I left the movie theater thinking I have to be nicer to people and that everybody around me is a human being just like myself. Sometimes you just forget and think the world revolves around you. I think many of us have gone back to that mentality - I know I did.
There were many heros that day but I have to say I never thought of the people who crawled into what was left of the towers to look for people and to rescue them. What was left of the buildings could have fallen and killed these people. Yet they crawled through tight spaces to help people. I just can't imagine. In the movie, one of the rescuers is an EMT. The guy who found the 2 police officers was a Marine.
Basically, I know this is a movie - a dramatization of actual events. But I'm glad I saw it. And I would recommend it.
Just my .02 cents.
