About that movie....

"So why the resistance to seeing it? Perhaps it's a religious impulse. In some ways, I regard the acts of those men and women to be an almost sacred moment in the history of America and of freedom. And sometimes, the sacred is best respected through silence. Sometimes, the greatest deeds, like the most monstrous acts, are best left unrepresented. They stand alone. They demand to be left alone. One day, commemorate. But do not so swiftly represent. Shakespeare often left the greatest moments in his plays off-stage. They have more power there."

At this point, I don't think I will see this movie, even if it's well done. I'm not ready yet. I saw the second plane hit the tower unexpectedly, a shot up from the streets. I saw the towers collapse.
I don't need any help to remember that day.
