People didn't boycott movies like Gigli

Why do you want them to boycott good movies?

i really doubt i would WANT to see this movie. I mean just thinking about it makes me sad, to this day its still hard to get the image out of my head or not thinking about it everyday since it happened.
perhaps im different from others but Im from NYC so i think about it more perhaps

OMG no one should have gone to see casablanca. It was made in 1942. How dare anyone profit off wwii while it was still going on.

link for the movie in Entertainment:

As for "exploiting" the event:
Quote :
"It is not an easy thing to walk into a theater and willingly open oneself to being transported back to the blackest day (at least thus far) of the 21st century. There are those who believe this movie should not be released, that it is "too soon." I will admit to having believed there was merit to this position - until I saw Paul Greengrass' vision brought to the screen. United 93 is its own most compelling defender. There's not a whiff of exploitation to be found. This is an honest, fact-based account that exists for two reasons: to assure that we do not forget the events of that day and to remind us that amidst all the horror and tragedy, there was still room for heroism. If not for the actions of the doomed passengers of United Flight 93, the United States might not have a Capitol Building."


In regard to "promoting hate toward Arab/Muslim":
Quote :
"Likewise, United 93 does not delve into the background of the terrorists. Other films have done that, but it isn't on Greengrass' agenda, nor is sympathizing with them or demonizing them. He presents them as individuals blinded by a cause, who don't see their fellow passengers as more than a dangerous inconvenience."

i would like to say i'm not gonna see it, because I know it's just going to be really sad... but i'm sure someone will drag me to see it anyways

i just think it's ridiculous that it has a pretty good chance of making box office records when it opens

I don't think anyone working in the theater business is expecting it to break any kind of record....

not saying it wont, but no one is expecting it.


I just watched this movie. It is really depressing. and yes, it is really well made. It's scary and sad. But that doesn't change the fact that it happened. And if this movie is fairly accurate, if the passengers on that flight did decide to try to stop the terrorists from reaching their targets and risked their own lives doing it, then I think I owe them two hours of my life.

Just my opinion
