Review of United 93 (2006) by David H — 02 May 2011
An unbelievably powerful and realistic account of the tragic events of 9/11. A film that is hard to watch and is not recommended for everyone, because United 93 not only displays the tragic event, it takes on a documentary style.
It doesn't feel like a film, it feels like your actually there, experiencing this god awful, harsh experience. It is a film that provokes such heartache, a gut-wrenching piece of film making. The film will grasp you and not let you go untill you've conjured up the amount of tears these heroic people deserve.
Anyone who is annoyed this film has been made, clearly has not watched it, because if they had they would realise how the film honours these heroes and contains so much heart underneath its surface. The film refuses to take a blockbuster style, which would insult the people involved in this horrible event.
It is so realistically paced, letting the stories events slowly unfold. It sticks to the facts and achieves great honesty, it is deeply moving and emotionally overwhelming, it makes you examine yourself, you realise how all the troubles in your life are nothing.
It ultimately stays with you like no other movie ever could. It also makes you feel like you did not give enough time and sympathy towards these events that occured. United 93 brings this tragic event into everyones lives and if it didn't affect you when it actually happened, it will now.
The best film this year, so far and among the best films ever made, and undoubtedly the most important film ever made.
