I watched to World Trade Center this weekend. It was dramatic. I have seen people cry in movies before and have done it myself. But, this was the only movie I have ever heard someone crying and sobbing uncontrollably. I don’t’ think it will be like that all over the country. I think the people here in NYC are still very sensitive. I am one of them actually. There was a point tears fell for me.
NYC was a safe place in my mind and I really didn’t think that anything would every happen like that. It was a happy safe place for me. It was an international hub of new found energy and freedom for myself and many others. I will never forget the looks on people’s faces after 911. One thing about the movie that was very un-realistic was the shot of the pictures of missing people posted on the wall.
That was not realizing in number or design. In the movie the pictures were posted very neatly. In reality they were posted overlapping each others and in a much greater number. There were about 100 times that many pictures posted by family members, lovers and friends those first two days after the towers came down looking for lost people who died in the towers. I think at least thousands. They were hanging out downtown asking people if they had seen this person or that person and holding up pictures. It was really heart wrenching to see them looking for people they loved and cared for. I think the movie should have had scenes of these crying people in the streets searching with pictures in their hands asking, “.. if anyone has seen this person.”
