Another Movie You Must See…
is United 93
I finally saw it this weekend. (It’s still playing at Meridian 16).
The movie is hardly a dramatization. It’s a stripped back, almost real-time attempt to give viewers a fly-on-the-wall perspective of the flight 93 tragedy.
The script adds in a little drama (as if it needs any) by speculating on the lead hi-jacker’s state of mind.
Otherwise, this is an unsentimental movie that makes you bawl.
The last scene ranks with the famous closing scene of 1967’s Bonnie & Clyde as one of the most gripping finales ever filmed.
Leni Riefenstahl would be proud...
