i be one of many that expect to see a glorified and yankee doodle dandy portrayal of a day that ( a famously quote ) should live in infamy and rather than glory . how wrong i be . these guy be there and right in the middle of it and and the picture they return be both amazing and heartbreaking . and yet it all occur on a chance trip to the world trade centre on september 11 and 2001. two french filmmaker be compile a documentary about life a a ny firefighter and particularly from the perspective of a young rookie come up through the rank . at the beginning we see much of this footage and just to remind u that there be no thought to produce a film about terrorism . this be intend to be a film about regular people earn an honest living help others and and the beauty of the film be that it never lose this edge . while investigate a suspect gas line ( i think and my memory a little hazy on that ) and we suddenly hear a plane fly overhead . the camera pan up to reveal a commercial jet torpedo itself into one of the tower . what must the cameraman have be think at this time . recognise the importance of the footage the camera stay on and and possibly realize the same thing and the fdny allow the camera to follow them into the building . what follow be a true view from the front line . we see the commitment of the fdny and their reaction ( the stun silence after hear the first person fall to their death be chill ) as well a the collapse of the one of the building from the inside and while a second camera capture the event from the outside . if it wasn not for the horrific event they be cover and the footage alone would be any young doco maker dream come true . quite simply and the footage deserve to be preserve for all time . but what really set this film apart be the genuine humanity that it bring to the viewer . we see firefighter charge in without hesitation and people of different race help one another escape to wave of rubble and even the concern of the filmmaker for one another ( they be brother ) a they can not reach one another in the confusion . there be amaze sight as well a amazing human story in this film and something hollywood could never duplicate ( even though it try ) . 9/11 isn not a film about politics . nor be it a film about religion and nationality or even jihad for that matter . 9/11 be a film about people and and a true indication of the best and bad that we be capable of . 9/11 be quite simply one of the most important film i have ever see and and would be the only film to be bear from this event if it be up to me . you can not duplicate this .
