United 93...Anyone see it? Anyone opposed to it having been made? Is it worth watching?

Great acting and great directing, but of course it's a touchy subject. It was a bit tough for me to watch at times, so I could only imagine how those who lost loved ones feel and can understand why people thought it was too soon. However, it's a good movie that places you there as it happens, not looking back. I also like how there weren't really any famous actors in it...made it seem more touching and real that way....but it's definitely a tear jerker.

Thank you, Leighdu, for replying.

I remember that when this movie was released in 2006, there were those who said that five years was much too soon for a "9/11" movie and that any such film would trivialize or glorify (depending on which side of the fence one sits) the horrible events of that awful day.  Some people - myself included, were not emotionally ready to see United 93.

I think that the decision to not cast well-known actors was a wise one. I'm not knocking any of Hollywood's A-list actors, but I don't want to be pulled out of the story when I get the involuntary and inevitable Celebrity in the Scene reaction that mars so many historical movies.

I still haven't received my DVD; I bought it on eBay and the seller is in Canada.  Maybe it will be here tomorrow.

I watched it with painful heart. I can only say apart watching this movie one should think of the kind of politicians we are electing and how easily they are ruining our life and they leading a extra ordinary life. Shame on us.
