World Trade Centre (Movie)



I watched one of the most powerful films that has ever come out of Hollywood last night. World Trade Centre is just filled with emotions and all the other hormonal stuff that flows through us. I was practically getting goosebumps when I saw the live footage that the producers borrowed from people who filmed the planes crashing into the WTC. All the news releases in the movie were actual tapes from news agencies and tv networks.



The story focuses around the lives of two police officers and their families. John McLoughlin (Nicholas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Peña) were two officers affiliated with the New York Ports Authority Office. They never realised just how different their lives would be on that day, Tuesday the 11th of September.



As the movie unfolds, you are bombarded with emotion and scenes of pain and anguish. I actually felt like I was trapped in there. I cried most at a very touching scene where John's wife is comforting a black woman whose son is caught somewhere in the rubble. The woman could never forget her last words to her son as he left for work. She was angry with him and they had a fight before he left. At the hospital she regretted evreything she said and wished that she could only hold him in her arms again. It was a powerful scene especially when you have a black woman and a white lady hugging each other trying to give each other comfort for the pain they feel inside.



I would recommend that people watch this movie, it is powerful and it would serve a good reminder that people have the potential to make good out of any situation they face in life. Tomorrow will never be the same again.

Note about the following video:~ it's got some pics of the actual crashing on 9/11 but i can't say that i agree with the users choice of music. check it:
