Is It Too Soon For "Flight 93: The Movie"?

Sept. 11
Flight 93, the movie, will be released in theaters nationwide this Friday. But is it too soon for a movie about such a tragic event in recent U.S. history?

The articles notes:
Yes, depictions of 9/11 still dredge up emotions that are difficult to bear. But the process of framing and reframing the tragedy is vital to our healing. We will relive 9/11 anyway, in our nightmares. The best defense is to face it head-on.


Is it too soon to do a movie about Flight 93?

What are your thoughts?

P.S. For me, it's still too soon...-L

The problem for me is that any ONE of us could've been on that plane that day and died. That sucks (to say the least)! I mean, the President has made sure to keep us confused about who we are "smokin' out" and fighting against. First it was Ossama Bin Laden, then Sudam Hussein, then we were fighting for democracy in Iraq, now it's to keep the Iraqis safe until they can elect a leader or whatever else. I stopped following.

As for the movie being made, it just really gives me a rush of panic to see a movie about a bunch of real people who died by simply boarding a plane one day. You never know when your time is up, but it sucks that there's nothing and no one that can protect us from the issues/mistakes that our government makes. They don't pay...we do...with our lives.
