World Trade Center

World Trade Center




By: Tanner Phillips
After "United 93" proved that you could make an insightful, respectful, and very intense movie about the 9/11 tragedy, here comes another one about the tragic event. From the controversial director Oliver Stone ("JFK," "Natural Born Killers," "Nixon") comes the fact-based story of two NYC Port Authority Police Officers, the ill-fated attempts to save them, and their own struggles for survival after the buildings came tumbling down on top of them.. Starring Nicolas Cage, Michael Pena, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Maria Bello, "World Trade Center" is sure to be one of late-summer's most talked-about films.

Unlike the other movies Stone has done in the past, âWorld Trade Centerâ stands as a factual collection of events made into an epic film commemorating the heroism, courage, and unity that took place on that dreadful day.

Fine cinematography coupled with fantastic acting makes it possible to re-create the horrible events that took place early that morning on September 11th.

Storyboarding the movie for you would be useless. We all know what happened that fateful day. However, âWorld Trade Centerâ puts it all into perspective of what individual families went through as they watched helplessly awaiting the news of their loved ones. It also documents the struggles that those men went through as they fought for life under the rubble that imprisoned them.

Itâs a story of hope, life, and love that will bring back to your remembrance what those events caused America to do. It caused us to unite together, to join hands in prayer, and stand strong against all of the evil forces that fought against us. We gave each other hope where hope seemed so far from our grasp.

I do not tell you that this movie is worth seeing because of the amazing acting, or wonderful re-enactments of the events on that day. I simply tell you that you MUST see it if anything to remember the way you felt at that time. It is a rekindling feeling of pride in our country, and in the men and women who gave their lives to save othersâ that day. Go and see âWorld Trade Centerâ. Itâs a must see this summer!
