Answer 4

“It was like a scene out of a movie.”

Everybody who saw September's* Grand-Guignol show has voiced or thought some variation of those words.

Of course it was. Our films reflect us. On that day they finally showed us the moral ambiguity and crippled ethics of a divided planet, too far along the road of selfishness and narrow-mindedness.

The relation between cinema and reality did not change after September 11*. The two have always driven, pushed and challenged each other.

As an example, in the last quarter of the 20th century it became increasingly inconceivable for many people to support the continuation of the nuclear arms race, and increasingly obvious just how suitable the acronym for Mutually Assured Destruction was. Can we seriously claim that the apocalyptic scenarios of cinema's Dr. Strangelove or Fail-Safe or Mad Max 2 or The Day After or Testament or The Terminator or Edge of Darkness had no effect on this attitude?
