On Friday night I went with Jerry, X, Yessica, and Nat to see United 93. Since we can NEVER make it ANYWHERE on time we missed the first 5 min of the movie. United 93 is one of those movies that you go see even though you already know the ending.If you have seen the trailer to this film and it upsets you, I suggest that you don't see the movie. It is as raw and real as Hollywood can be.
Watching ordinary people do ordinary things, in the first hour of a flight is almost unbearable. It is something that we have all done before.
During the second hour when the passengers realize what is going on and are told of the events on the ground; you cant help but cry as they call their loves one to say goodbye.
Close to the end of the movie there is a brief glimmer of hope as the passengers take control of the plane and try to stop their fate, but then you realize that this will not be one of those movies with a happy ending. At that moment and time you are reminded that you already know the ending of this film, we all sat and watched in stunned silence, as the plane crashes down, powerless to change the course of the history we are witnessing.
As we left the movie theater in silence, people wiped the tears off their faces while others held on to their love ones. Director Paul Greengrass did a beautiful job of honoring all of those who died.

Brave of you to watch. That's one of those movies that I'd have to go watch w/ a really trusted friend and minimal make up because i'm such a crybaby.
Girl, honestly I'm afraid to go watch it, and i think it's totally wrong to make money off such tragedy.

This is one of those movies I don't think I will be able to see. Not that it won't be a good movie, but I don't want to feel that pain.
