United 93

Dusty-
I think it would be a scary thing at any age. These black outs, what were they caused from and where?

[Dustpan]

Sweety,

We would have civil defence drills in our town where we lived, it was because of the war that was going on over in Germany. Everybody that could afford a bomb shelter, made one. Everybody was worried about being bombed. We would have ration stamps that we used for food and gas.

Dusty-
Really, you know I only read about things like that in text books. It's a different perspective when I read it from someone who actually had to face the horror.

You would think after the 9/11 attacks and the war going on in Iraq, more people would have bomb shelters today.

Dust,

Black outs, eh? Where were you at the time?

Sweety,
Yea, it was definitely a romantic movie too. I may have came off a little strong in my above post. I by no means wanted to seek revenge for a bombing that happened 60 years ago. Rather, I felt kind of angry at what they did to us. I presume this movie will do the same to others who watch it.

I talked to her about the movie, but she didn't seem to mind. She agreed with me, in fact. Eh, I guess she was over here for a reason.

sweety,

I think that everybody now has no idea about bomb shelters, only the ones that had to go through the 40's remembers what it was like. The bomb shelters has been distroyed, and I don't think theirs many left that are in the cities. These bomb shelters were generally in the basements of the buildings.

remek,

My mother and I lived with her parents while my father was in the Army, but he never got into the action of fighting. So this how I remember how things happened where we lived in upstate New York.

[Dustpan]

remek,

Did your girlfriend ever tell you what her parents went through?

[remek]

Dust,

So you've been in New York your whole life then?


Me and her never really talked about that kind of stuff. She didn't want to talk about it, and I understood why. I was both supportive and curious at the same time... But I had to set my curiousity aside.

Well after seeing United 93 and being in the theater for about 3 weeks, it did not raise many issues like I thought it would. It was a very moving movie, considering I was watching what really may have happened in that flight. Although that plane was the only one of the four that did not reach its destination, it makes you think what went on in the other planes and if they were allotted more time in the other planes than maybe 9/11 may have never even happened.
