It was several weeks ago when I was flipping through the channels, and happened to see the movie preview to the new WTC movie.
What the f...?!?
OMG! I cannot imagine watching that tacky, new WTC film! Why? Because I feel that it is a disgusting ploy to make money off of false patriotism. While some people claim to watch it to "support 9/11", others, such as myself, absolutely refused to watch that piece. Who, in their right minds, would want to relive the painful memories that happened on September 11, 2001?! And I have to ask, "Where does the film profits go?" I would really like to know where the money is going!
Why now? Why make a movie about WTC? For a couple of examples, why don't you take Titanic or Pearl Harbor. When did those events occurred? Why make a film of an event from 5 years ago? Why not wait until 50 years has passed and do a film then? The making and showing of the WTC movie is like rubbing salt in open wounds. The people who died should be remembered and honored WITHOUT the commercialized propaganda!
Shit. It's just downright nasty!
So.. If you want to show your true patriotism.. Please put your 9 bucks and some dollars for soda with popcorn into better use! Don't watch the movie, just donate those greenbacks of yours to one of those WTC scholarship funds or non-profit organizations!
- Twin Towers Orphan Fund
- September 11 Scholarship Alliance
- World Trade Center Survivors Network Links
UPDATE: I went and did a little looking at the slow paced, sleep inducing, flash based layout at WTC Movie. I learned that the movie will donate 10% of its profits to their approved list of WTC charities. Why not 100% or 90%?! Or better yet, to be fair, 50% of the proceeds to be donated? 10% is a measly portion of peanuts! Make sure you donate! 100% of your donated money goes to charity!
