WTC full trailer

[Gamma Ray]

Is this a story of firefighters who die or firefighters who are saved from the rubble? In other words, does Cage die?

 

[ToddIsDead]

No, Cage does not die due to the awesomeness of his mustache.

 

[gregtestagent]

"You people. If there isn't a movie about it, it's not worth knowing, is it?"

 

[Mentok]

No, Cage does not die due to the awesomeness of his mustache.

Or Cage does die but the 'stash brings him back to life

 

[ToddIsDead]

That too is highly possible

 

[Milkman95]

This is actually a true story about the firefighter's that actually survived being buried in the rubble - I'm sure it's a very emotional film about family and should be very inspirational.

I could understand about people not wanting to see United 93, but this film is totally different.......

 

[Motown Marvel]

how is it totally different? theyre both about people affected by 9/11 fighting for their survival.

 

[Milkman95]

-Maybe because these firefighter's survive?

 

[Darthphere]

The firefighters dont survive, the cops in the movie do however.

 

[Edward Brock]

Wha?!

 

[Milkman95]

The firefighters dont survive, the cops in the movie do however.

Oops, thanks for the correction, that's what I meant........

 

[MaskedManJRK]

I have to ask--the people that are saying that it's "extremely emotional" and stuff, do you live in New York? Did you have reletives there during that time? Did you lose a loved one on that day?

If the answer to all of those is no...I dunno...that's a bit pathetic to me. Maybe I'm just a cold hearted bastard, but, that's what I think.

As for the movie, I might see it, but only if I'm with someone that wants to see it--I'm not really interested enough to get off my ass and go see it myself.

It's because your a cold hearted bastard. You can feel empathy for people who experienced the loss of loved ones.

I said I understood if you were there or had a loved one there on that day, I'm just saying...like...the soccer mom in Tennasee that has nothing to do with it whatsoever really shouldn't be so overtly emotional about it.

Thats like saying Tyrone WIlliams from Compton shouldnt be saddened by a movie like Schindler's List. Its idiotic.

 

[xwolverine2]

meh....

maybe in 20years this movie could work.....

 

[Milkman95]

It doesn't matter where you're from - human loss is human loss, it's emotional regardless.

Unless you're a prick, you'd feel at least something from a movie like this........

 

[Milkman95]

meh....

And why is that? What's the difference between 5 years and 20 with this type of material?

Sorry, but time does not heal ALL wounds..........

 

[Apocalypso]

It's just a cheap ploy to remake THE TOWERING INFERNO under a different title.

 

[SpHinX]

Let them make it and get it out of their system. I'll be seeing it on DVD because it looks like it might be good. The scene when the towers collapse looks like it is going to be one hell of a scene. It'll stir up some sort of emotion while watching it.
I remember the Christmas right before 9/11, I was with my friend at his Dad's firehouse(It was right across the street from the WTC) We stood outside of the Twin Towers and just looked up. You got a funny feeling because they were so tall. He wanted to go up to the top, but I couldn't get myself to do it. I have a small fear of heights. Who would have guessed they wouldn't be there a few months later.

To me, it's really just the difference between this and United 93.

WTC, while about real people, has a few major stars in this (Nicolas Cage is the leading one here, from what I can tell), and I feel that kind-of diludes the emotion for me--I'm seeing the guy from Con Air trapped under a building, not a real person. (However, the guy that's kind-of co-staring with Cage, the Mexican looking one, that guy got to me a bit)

United, on the other hand, I got the emotion from, mostly because these aren't big stars doing the movie. The actors there look like regular schmos like you or me.

I think that's why I didn't really feel much from WTC--because it's Hollywood, and though when played right, it can feel real, and it doesn't feel fake, it's just...average.

Or maybe I am just a prick, I dunno.

I can agree with that - United 93 had no big Hollywood names, so it felt more real, which is why unknowns are cast a lot (Brandon Routh anyone?)........

 

[Dark Vigilante]

While I do feel for the people who died on September 11th, the very real and scary possibility that there is truth behind the many scientifically backed "conspiricy theories",that are instantly considered as false and not given a second thought by millions of naive and overlly patriotic Americans make me feel almost misled by the trailer and the premise of the movie. Maybe I'll see it, but I'm not sure exactly what to believe when it comes to 9/11.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I have absolutely no interest in any 9/11 movie. It's wayyyy too soon and even if they (hollywood) had waited 20 years, I still wouldn't want to see a movie about the event.

Hopefully this movie goes the way of United 93.

 

[The Guard]

What happened on 9/11 absolutely lends itself to a movie, but this is not, I think, the movie that should have been made about it. Two men? There were many "heroes" that day, and many villains. And many more caught in between. I'm sure this film will do it's best, but making it a weepy, forced "will our daddy come home" story about two families was not the best way to go in my mind. I'll see it, because it's Oliver Stone, and it's an event movie. It may well be a good film. Just not the film that should have been, I think.
