Wow.
I just saw the movie, and I have to say, it wasn't a pleasent experience. I was nauseous throughout the entire movie, from the very beginning to nearly the end. I'm not going to lie, I did cry twice and I am not one that cries at movies.
I agree that this movie was more of a human movie than an American, but I couldn't help but notice the strong connection that was made between 9/11 and Iraq, which have absolutely no correlation. That kind of ticked me off.
I was kind of afraid to see this movie, as Hollywood tends to take tragic events and turn it into cheese (ie. Titanic), but in the end I think Stone did a pretty good job and really brought a strong message about the goodness of people, which is important when you're watching a movie that depicts such an evil occurance.
I do reccomend this movie, but I do not reccomend buying popcorn... you probably will not be able to eat it.
