United 93

I think that United 93 is a very intense movie. From start to finish I was glued to my seat, and the last 30 minutes had my heart beating rapidly. I really liked how they filmed the movie - I knew what was going to happen, as did most of the people that watched the film, but you never knew when it was going to happen. I thought that the hijackers were portrayed very well, I was surprised to see that they acted with a nervousness and fear that seemed unprecedented to terrorists. I didn't think they got nervous and scared just like the passengers did. The movie made me feel kind of insecure. To think that this could happen to any passenger jet is terrifying, I fly all the time. It also gave me a deep pride in our country when I saw the passengers unite and reclaim the plane, even though it crashed. It gave me a new perspective on terrorism and flying, I've never seen anything from that point of view. I would say the film fills me with dispair. Overall, the fact that this could happen to a country as great as the US is shocking to me. We like to think our country is so safe, so secure and so powerful. More generally, it fills me with dispair more in terms of the human race. The fact that humans could do this to other humans, to an entire nation, is terrible. We're supposed to love, not go to war with each other. I think that we should never forget the reaction our country had. We all came together for New York and the victims of 9/11. The post - 9/11 efforts to bring our nation together were great. We truly were United States, and we should attempt to keep that unity.
