I am frustrated by those who tell me a movie about Flight 93 being overtaken by the passengers and crew is "a good idea, so we won't forget".

First of all, none of us were on that plane, so the best we can expect is a GOOD IDEA of what might have happened.

Second of all, who in this whole country COULD ever forget unless they really wanted to?

I had to turn off my television after the first three days of news coverage. I couldn't watch them replaying the towers falling over and over and over again anymore. I don't need images in my brain that won't ever leave, thank you very much.

I choose to remember things in my own ways, I suppose. I find those who tell my how I ought to remember or think of things to be very tiresome indeed.


In unrelated news, everyone needs to see "Mrs. Henderson Presents"...if only to see Judi Dench say the "F" word.

I have to completely agree with you on the need to make/produce/create or even see a movie about flight 93. I saw the preview for it on the big creeen while waiting for "thank you for smoking" to start. The preview made me sick to my stomach and when they showed the actual footage, I cried. I simply can not understand how anyone would or could forget what happened to our country that day.
