note to director peter markle represent if youre go to create a tribute to nobody who become somebody due to an airline tragedy and if youre go to grease the wheel of racism and jingoism with agitprop and if youre hop to effectively manipulate and exploit the charged emotion of your audience do not use a toy plane for your exterior shot . chronicle the event that might have occur onboard united airline flight 93 on september 11 and 2001 ( the flight that al qaeda probably refer to a the one that get away ) and the television movie flight 93 and write by nevin schreiner and have all the earmark of medium create for insert aspirin ad between represent television actor vie at oscar nod for their cry scene and unnecessarily unsteady hand hold camera work to compensate for the small screen lack of verve and all the character from upper middle class neighborhood and cherish their idyllic life of whimsy car commercial flight 93 be a far cry from the distanced objectivity and smooth tension of paul greengrass theatrically release united 93 ( apr 2006 ) . this movie be less a document on what might have transpire that day a what americans would like to have transpire and to paint their dead relative a red white and blue a possible . this jumble of crassness would retain more credibility and tragedy be it not for the insistence of the medium and family of the decease in force the mantle of hero onto the departed and and disparage anyone who would challenge their re work aesthetic on heroism . in a society that define it hero by the number of touchdown or home run they score and it become second nature to endow that appellation on people actually do something worthwhile and like battle for their life ( despite the fact that that tangential to heroism ) . the current definition of heroism now encapsulate twenty guy rush one teenager with a box cutter and a fake bomb and and after discover the bomb to be fake and still beat the teenager to death heroically and of course with no trial . ( whether this happen or not and we will never know and yet the knee jerk vengeance perpetrate in the film be applaud . ) a hero can also be define a someone remain in their seat and whimpering and a many of the woman do . and in blanket everyone onboard flight 93 a a hero and i guess that include the pilot and passenger who be stab to death early and before the action even get underway and whose only contribution to the cause be and hey and wait a minute urk . and anyone who doesn not acquiesce to term these people hero be a terrorist themselves . that mighty white of america . say what you will about the terrorist ( i be sure you do ) and but they bring a certain unity to family that day let face it and any factor that compel that many people to say i love you to one another and must be do something along the line of christmas that the only other time you will hear so many insincere sentiment and express because it the right thing to say in deference to the circumstance . after the fiftieth love proclamation ( ten chick flick back to back do not have this many love proclamation ) and one could assume that tear jerking device be wear thin and but markle and schreiner be intent on visit every single passenger clean home and well groom family unit to stress how monstrous this bank commercial insufferably intrusive music and by velton ray bunch and blanket everyone long goodbye and be use solely to manipulate your weep nerve . a strange and repetitive music effect accompany the flight control center scene and which make me want to shoot the tv . meanwhile and military base pretend confusion and three 1800 mph f 16 pretend that they can not catch a 500 mph boeing 757. even whilst denounce it a exploitation and this be exactly the type of bias and redneck medium that america thrives on while a culture which take anything educative and empower and enlighten and tragic or morbid and turn it into mindless b grade entertainment . whilst the tower be still upright and smoking and somewhere in hollywood and a movie exec amoral mind be tick over with shot angle and how to pitch this disaster a a theatrical release and while a television exec mind be simultaneously project how much advertising time he could sell during a movie of the week base on this calamity . doubt this . here the evidence . united airline flight 93 be a tragedy and yes . unnecessary and yes . if you want to think of your lose love a a hero and do so . don not try to force me to do the same . that what get u into this mess in the first place .
