The Greater Power 05-16-2006 07:08 PM

World Trade Center
 
THIS is the 9/11 movie I've been waiting for. Now, I haven't seen United 93, but this one looks way better by far. I believe it tells the true story of two firefighters. Nicholas Cage is in it, however it appears to be all German.

Some of the shots of the WTC collapsing are just tremendous.

It's a German trailer...and I hope this movie doesn't make a mockery of the events...and Nic Cage is not my top choice to play a role like this either...but it is Oliver Stone, so it should be alright.

I think Cage can pull it off.

Let's see United 93 which went as far as to cast the real life air traffic controllers, military officials who dealt with everything that happened on 9/11 or WTC that narrows the entire tragedy to the story of two men (so the film can have a happy ending I presume) and is directed by Mr. historical inaccuracy himself Oliver Stone hmmm which is going to end up being better?
Although Stone didn't write the screenplay so maybe it won't be as bad.

Isn't it like 22.3 years before you're allowed to cash in on a tragedy?

toxic rooster 05-17-2006 11:37 AM

I'm ready to see a movie about it. Something about someone who is caught up in it and becomes a hero or leader or something like that.

RP 05-17-2006 01:32 PM

nigger just said Brokeback trade center.

Savio 05-17-2006 08:29 PM

They have to have a scene of a person looking out the window when the first plane hit, because that really happened.

toxic rooster 05-19-2006 12:07 PM

That shot on the street of the first plane going overhead, is it just me or is that shadow disproportionately enormous?

toxic rooster 05-19-2006 12:10 PM

Right, way to ruin the movie in the trailer. Nicolas Cage clearly survives.

God, could you be any more run-on?

Anyway, even the trailers for United 93 were "historically inaccurate."

Who gives a shit if Stone is involved, United (Which you are fellating, teeth and all) already showed that making it dramatic and epic (They fought off a terrorrist attack, one would think they didn't need to "jazz it up" any more than that) is more important than sticking to the truth.

The vultures will circle. They will pick the parts of the carcass that interest them, and then they will leave the bones to bleach. Does it matter if it's Stone or not?

A lot of movies tell you if the character wins or loses or lives or dies in the first 30 seconds of the movie. So fucking what?

(Note, I haven't seen trailers, nor will I watch this movie, I really don't give a shit)

This seems like the type of project that people will try to find any reason to rip on. So it's historically inaccurate. Who cares? Most records of events in history are biased and inaccurate themselves so how can we expect reenactments to be accurate when the actual records aren't? I mean if the movie sucks then the movie sucks but at least find a good reason to bash it.

Shit man, I heard that Da Vinci Code movie was historically inaccurate. That's bullshit man.

Dammit, Forrest Gump never met with no President and he didn't show LBJ his bullet wound. That ain't how it happened! In fact, I heard Forrest Gump never even served in Vietnam.

toxic rooster 05-20-2006 10:38 AM

He probably never even played ping pong

For the record, several groups areprotesting DVC on "historical accuracy" grounds, including one of the grounds portrayed as villains.

While it may seem like a good way to mock the ridiculousness...People are actually protesting the damn work of fiction.

Supreme Olajuwon 05-21-2006 12:52 AM

It would seem to me that the whole historical accuracy argument over Jesus' life by Christians would take a serious hit due to the fact that there are four different accounts of his life in the Bible plus who knows how many else that weren't included. But then again I'm not protesting.

Downunder 05-21-2006 06:09 AM

Two men, twin towers pointing skyward, penetration by an aeroplane - COME ON!!!!!!!!

If that's not the script for Brokeback 9/11 I don't know what is. Let's face it there is a good chance some of the people killed in the WTC collapse were gay, I think the story should focus on that instead of all the doom and destruction. Of course they would both have to die in the end to keep Bush and the church happy.

Downunder 05-21-2006 06:11 AM

BTW they will have to be white men - if two black men were killed in the movie Kanye would totally flip.

They're Christians. Already, I take anything they do with a grain of salt. Especially in this country.

Come on, you can do better than Brokeback 9-11.

Brokeback Mohammed?

Savio 05-25-2006 09:00 PM

I hope spiderman is in this movie.

BCWWF 05-27-2006 03:00 AM

I saw the trailor last night and I don't think it will be better than United 93. It just looked like it was made Hollywood to the max, showing the brave police men stepping up and opting to go inside. There is no denying that those guys are heros, but United 93 didn't glorify the event, and it looks like this movie is.

Disturbed316 05-28-2006 03:43 PM

I saw the trailer the other day and all I could think about was how odd Nicholas Cage looks with a moustache.

BCWWF 05-30-2006 01:48 AM

Lol my friend said the exact same thing
