incredible documentary capture all the frenzied chaos and misery which loom over nyc on that fateful morning of september 11th . intense and personal and and completely rivet and 9/11 be perhaps the great documentary ever make by accident and which kind of give it an even great appeal . up until that morning and filmmaker gideon and jules naudet have be follow around a new york firefighter team and concentrate specifically on one new recruit in a little piece they be shoot deal with the rigorous training to become a fireman . out with the team that morning filming yet another simple routine cleanup and jules lift his camera up to the sky just in time to record one of the only known image of the first plane hit the world trade center and and from there a simple documentary be no more . viewer be give a first hand account of what it be like to be in and around ground zero and a the amazing group of fire fighter and one profoundly bewilder cameraman attempt to navigate this disaster . without hesitation and naudet follow these automatically programmed hero into the tower while it entire support crumbles around them . the raw fear of an unknown and impending doom lurk with more viability then any fictional production could ever fathom a we watch less and less become audible and visible for those trap inside . nearly a memorable be old brother gideon candid capturing of an entire city in the throng of a large and more palpable fear then anything they have collectively witness . by the time we get to see the second tower collapse and a the cameraman shield himself from apocalyptic debris and we should all but be rinse the dirt off ourselves from the amazingly up close footage capture . obviously the filmmaker deserve only as much credit a be in the right place at the right time to document such an extraordinary event and though one can only admire the two brother in their extraordinary adaptation to such an event while in a few desperate minute we witness them become like the fireman they document only instead of save life they know they have to save footage and even if it cost them their own safety . after view 9/11 and and see that it come out in 2002 and i feel much more resentment towards oliver stone recent rendition and the big budget world trade center . many have criticize the film for ignorantly narrow down the focus to those two survivor trap in rubble and and although i enjoy the movie just fine for the small and sentimental hollywood focus it bring and 9/11 all but render his film completely obsolete . not only will this utterly gripping footage remain the only definitive collection from that day and but the sublime transfer of motif midway ensure that this documentary have all the heart and character need to never sensationalize the event again .
