What do you think about 9/11 movies?

Question

honestly i think they are a disgrace i know they say 'its showing the pain and loss in an art form blah blah' but does anyone feel like they are exploiting a tragedy?

it would be better if they donated the profits to some sort of 9/11 fund thing or charity but producers are making money out of it

anyway rant over!! what do you think?

Answer 1

Not really thought much about them...refuse to see them.

Answer 2

What about the books written about it by survivors or victim's families? Are they a disgrace as well? What about movies like 'Saving Private Ryan' or 'Schindler's List' ??

I just don't think it is a black and white issue where we can say that something is wrong and something else isn't - there has to be some parity.

What about the benefit that the movies, books and even music that has inspired? Helping people deal with the pain and loss. Showing people that were unaffected what it was like to be affected - and as a result unite a nation.

Answer 3

i really don't care if they are exploiting a tragedy its the truth. and i like some of the movies it shows how much hatred against us can bring us together as a nation to help each other out.  

Answer 4

Art has always portrayed major events of the time, and 9/11 was a major event. The best works should aim to dig deeply to uncover the causes of events such as 9/11, ie what makes a radical muslim radical, what can be done to prevent this in future etc.

Answer 5

There has only been one major 911 movie...and that was pretty bad.

Exploitation...? I don't think so.

America thinks 911 was something special...My parents remember the blitz in London where more people died night after night and on any of those nights...than died on 911.

In Europe we remember when an American company murdered more than ten times the 911 victims in Bhopal...including 12,000 children with no company executive ever being charged with any offence.

911 happened because America is arrogant...and they still are.

Answer 6

They're over rated.  I don't think they should be making money off of something bad that happened to the country.  Also, I think they're just bringing up the past.  It's time we just recede into our history.  Why should we have a day for it?

Answer 8

I haven't watch that many of 9/11 movies, but the ones I have watch made me really sad. I don't really enjoy watching them. You do make a good point though.  

Answer 9

your a terrorist most of those movies show strength in times of peril and how we cared and mourned after it  

Answer 10

i believe United 93 was a donation case

Answer 11

Ive never watched one/...... never will either

Answer 12

When I heard That films were coming out, all I could think was

Ch-Ching!

Which is probably what everyone involved also thought.

Answer 13

I am not for any film that intentionally exploits tragedy for the sake of money and fame.. that is just plain wrong. But no, not all are a disgrace. Sure, they say the country/world isn't ready for that kinda stuff, but there's no escaping the fact.

If you ever watch World Trade Center or United 93, they're so brutal on the emotions.. but they give inevitable tribute to the survivors and to those lost. Tributes are fine in fact, sometimes they're necessary, and there ARE filmmakers out there dedicated to keeping the memory of them alive.

So, pretty much, with appropriate intentions, 9/11 movies aren't very disgraceful.

Answer 14

Personally I don't like them. I think it is far too early to be making movies about 9/11.There is still so much shock,hurt, loss and bitterness around the event. I think moviemakers are just trying to make a quick buck. I have not seen one and I do not intend to see any of them.  

Answer 15

It's too soon for the movies to be watchable. People are still coping with the tragedy. They should have waited at least a decade.
