United 93
Last year I heard about this movie coming out and passed it off as a rumor. However, over the last month I've come to realize how true it really was. How in the name of all that is holy this is allowed to happen, I'll never know, but it's really...really sad.
As is well known by all, this is the hollywood movie about the airplane that went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania after being highjacked by terrorists on September 11, 2001. It went down because the passengers started a revolt and fought back to stop the terrorists, knowing via cell-phone calls what their eventual fate would be; and appearantly not liking it.
Of course, there's no WAY I'm going to see it, because it's a freaking travesty to know that some CEO in Universal Pictures is going to make millions of dollars from a terrible sacrifice of life.
You know how much Steven Spielberg made from Schindler's List? Not a single cent! He donated it all to the victims of the holocaust, and though I'm SURE some money will go to the families -- simply because they don't want their greed to be too obvious -- you already know who's keeping the big bucks.
Because this is the year 2006, and they got to it first.
