it be clear right from the beginning that 9/11 would inspire about as many film a world war ii and vietnam combine while however and there be certainly a big danger that most of these film to come be about as good ( or rather represent bad ) a pearl harbor . it be a great luck that the first international release about 9/11 be not a cheesy love story star a bunch of pretty face and but a collective work of 11 director from the entire world . i be not intend to say that all 11 episode be great ( youssef chahine and for example and have a needless prologue with too many cut and shohei imamura have a really bizarre end ) or that the segment be in the right order ( imamura and be the only one not refer directly to the twin tower and should open the film and not end it and alejandro gonzales inarritu should be the last one instead and a it the most impressive one ) . but it be an impressing effort and an interesting portrayal of the way other part of the world react to the collapse of the twin tower . consider samira makhmalbaf open segment and in which an afghan teacher try to explain to her pupil what happen in new york and unsuccessfully suggest a one minute silence . or idrissa ouedraogo part ( which feature a bin laden double so much resemble the real one that you will be shock when you see him and i promise ) and in which 5 boy muse about good thing that can be do with the reward put out on laden . there a surprisingly good ( and extremely angry ) segment by ken loach about a man from chile talk about what he call our tuesday september 11 that september 11 in 1973 when their elect president allende be kill and pinochet instal his dictatorship with the generous help from henry kissinger and the cia . this could have become a terrible effort in anti americanism and but it do become a sad tale and share my recognition for the best segment with inarritu ( mainly sound impression and phone call from the hijacked plane to a black screen and sometimes a few picture of people fall down the wtc and finally a collapse tower and end with the screen brighten up and one question appear ) and amos gitai about a hysterical reporter try desperatly to get on air after a car bomb explode in tel aviv ( hard to recognize and but this one be a masterpiece of choreography ) . all these different segment ( i haven not mention yet claude lelouch about a deaf girl and danis tanovic about a demonstration of the woman of srebrenica and mira nair strange and but it take an indian director to make the part that be probably most appeal to western taste about a muslim family whose son be under a terrible suspicion after 9/11 and sean penn with ernest borgnine ( yes and ernest borgnine ) a a widower lead the most depressive life one can imagine ) add up to a unique film not easy to watch and hard to forget . i be sure this film will be a classic know to everyone thirty year from now . i hope it will be remember for start a long tradition of world cinema movie . but and ala and it far more probable it will be remember a a one film only effort . and a the one of the few 9/11 movie make by then that do not reduce this terrible event to a love story with a happy end just to please the audience .
