the film was really good and it felt like you were there at that moment and saw everytihing happen. it was very realistic. the charaters were acting really intense, which made it realistic. the movie was really heart breaking to hear that so many police officers, fire-fighters, and other people, died in the towers because they were either saving lives or working in the towers. it hit me when i heard that only 20 people were rescued, and the rest were dead.
If you were the writer and director of this movie, how would you have portrayed it differently? Why? Would you have shots of their families crying or go into more detail of them trying to get out. Would you have held at the plane going into the building scene a little bit longer because it didn't show much of the plane. Meaning you had to have prior knowledge? How would you have done that differently to someone who didn't know what happened?
I thought the film was amazing showing that even of the toughest times someone can withstand that pain and sorrow knowing you may not see another day it captures all the perspectives of what that day represented and what those people went trough that very day. I have learned that not all good last but the ones that fight prevail.
Then I also learned how much good people they lost that day and what those people were capable of, for example look at John and will they became great heroes because they survived. Who knows others could've cured cancer or so.
The film was very realistic and it felt like it was really happening here. The characters in the book were so real and they were exactly how the characters in the movie were except that Will and John weren't related in the movie. The movie was intense and the book was more like a brief explanation of the movie or the actual incident. I was shocked to hear that only 20 people had survived and the rest got injured or died.
What I thought of the film was that it was very emotional.Meaning not only the directors were into the film but as well the actors seeing them portray the characters really well and realistic that it seemed to me that i was there to watching the scenes.As well the scenes were descriptive but they matched my visualization as we read.
What I have learned from the film and book is that I should be prepared for everything and never give up.As we saw in the book John and Will did not give up through out the whole situation even through the fall of the tower Will did not give up and he put his full strength in all that they did .This is also seen in the film as the two fire men did not give up even through excruciating pain they held on and eventually got what they needed ... another chance of life.In addition I learned that in these cases you should be prepared for everything even the unexpected.
just as will did i would rush to the bottom and what would go through my head is many things such as family friends and somewhere there the thought of the building falling even if the chances of me thinking of them falling.
I thought the film was very intense. Sad but true, it made me cry at certain points. Knowing those people could die any moment and knowing that they know that, and when they think about their lives and how one of them wanted it to end from there own choice, and how the others didn't want their life to end. I've learned that 9/11 wasn't just an attack to america the nation but also was an attack to the innocent american people and to the people who were there to help their people. The film and the book taught me about the most important part of a situation like this, and that is not a physical pain but a spiritual pain, sadness, grief of a loved ones death. And the pain of having no other choice but to kill yourself, the pain of seeing your life come to end. But mostly the fact that most people didn't even see it coming. The fact that some people had a millisecond to think about their lives before they die. The film and book gave a situation where the people got plenty of time to think but had inner pain as well as physical pain when thinking.
@Donna that is very true when the people thought about what was going to happen to their lives I felt so bad because they knew they were going to die and they didn't want their lives to end like this. Everyone in the building wanted to live so badly because they all had family's and imagine how all of the people in the buildings family's felt????? Their family's would obviously be worried sick.
For Will, the author described his every thought and described his amount of pain, but not in one thought did he say 'i think im going to die' or anything like that. He did think about james's dad and what happened to all the people on the top level but he had no doubt of his fathers survival, he had this kind of trust that he would be there when he blows his whistle. For John, i think he was in great pain as well because the author described his appearance when he came out with Ting. I dont think John lost hope when he got crushed by the buildings leftovers, despite the amount of pain he must of felt.
i liked the movie because it gave good facts in the end also it was cool how they gave scenes when john and will are under the WTC
i think what i learned from the book is a moral value of following your heart and also never give up because in the book if john and will gave up they would probably die also if john never followed his heart one again they might've died
in the film i learnt that if you don not have a partner under the WTC because if will did not have john or john did not have will they would have died because they had no one to talk to
so you think is it all about the participation?because they said they found about 6 other firemen under the rubble and I don't think they all had a "partner"
Well Are There Other Reasons Of Why You Like The Film? Other Than The Shots Of John And Will.
You say not to give up, but they didn't give up because there was "hope" and hope is just a luck thing they were lucky that someone had crossed by the place they were stuck at.
So is following your heart a way of showing that you don't give up? Or is following your heart, really following your heart?? I put 2 question marks there because isn't it your brain that thinks your answers and analyzes the situation. So are you following your HEART? Or is it just what your brain wants?
i thought that the film was intense, and it was very touching. i found it impressive that john and will survived. they were crushed, but they lived.
i have learned that what had happened that day was terrible, and unimaginable. that day had brought so much pain and misery, and i think that who ever went through it, whether they experienced it or is a family member, still have misery about what happened.
yes i agree i never knew much of the towers before hand. i never knew all the pain and the sorrow the extremists brought.i thought that every body got out.
The film was extremely powerful. It was really accurate but a great movie overall. From the film alone, I think I realized how many people were affected. it wasn't only the workers or emergency people who died or got injured. It was their family, friends and more. The film really put emphasise on that and I realized it more with the film. Both the film and the book were amazing and powerful. I personally enjoyed the movie more.
@Buttercup, I agree in the book, most of the time there just climbing stairs.In the movie you can see more then one perspective and it shows how it didn't only effect the people in the tower.
I think the movie was dramatic. The scenes are really strong and they leave a impact on you. Its really sad and its not a easy movie to sit and watch through. I think it did show the reality of how it was when it was 9/11. The parts left of the buildings was really shocking.
From the movie and film I've learned that the people in the towers had a hope that they would get out and go back to their family's.I think John does the play the role of the leader because the john in the book and john the movie are alike. U still think the movie is more dramatic because you can see everyone going on with the towers and don't have to visualize it.
I thought the movie was downright amazing. The suspense, drama all added up to one very big finish. The different perspectives they gave were phenomenal. The people trapped, the cops, firefighters, family, and a lot more. At times you could lose focus with them being stuck underground and all for a long time. But, as far as realism went this is as realistic as you can get. The family grieving and crying for their father, or their husband. The movie really had their viewers engaged with the amount of depth in their perspectives, like the reading strategy empathy. And when their friend I forget, Will? Shot himself in the head because of the pain he didn't wanna go through. The cops didn't have that big of a reaction but, it definitely was mind blowing. To realize the best way you have out is death, you have to be pushed to certain limit before you cave in, and that added to the drama. Overall a really amazing film.
I learned that men will whatever it takes to make the world or in this case New York City safe. And I also learned that your confidence will give you a boost a shot of adrenaline if you will. But it will not save you from the hands of death, it isn't enough to save you from the hands of death. And I learned that you should never give up, no matter what. Even if your pushed to the point where you could die, try to stay alive, that's what the cops did never gave up. Kept ringing that pipe, kept keeping their eyes open, and hoping and praying that someone would hear them. And their calls were answered.
i thought both the movie and book were amazing. they were good because of the detail, they also made me understand the event more.
the book was really intense. there was always debate about if they are making it out. this always kept the book fresh. when im at home, i always want to read the next couple of chapters. although it wasn't true, it was amazing. it still made me learn about the towers more.
the movie was alot more intense. only because we saw what actually happened. like how people suicide, and how people were trapped, also how it was all real, it showed how people died in less than half a second. and how they werent able to think of their family
i think people prefer the film better because you can see what people are going through, and you can see whats happening instead of picturing it in your head
I think people enjoy the movie more than the book because its different to see it happen in your head and the see it happen on the screen. For me, seeing the movie made it seem all so more real. I still think the film would be powerful if we didn't read the book because it's a great movie, accurate and intense all on its own.
Its like a package. For example if you don't prepare for a new math lesson in before hand then you will never appreciate yet be good or at least know what your doing.Also there are some details the book mentions that the movie does so you will be more engaged to the movie to find out if they changed or left some parts out that the book mentioned.
I think the movie is better because we get to see more then one perspective and we see whats going on with the people inside, the families and the officer/people trying to get people get out.Also we don't have to visualize how bad it really is.
@ mr cheney it does. thats what i really liked about this movie. most movies arent very accurate, but this one was. which made me appreciate the book better.
but the movie was a little off from what had actually happened.
I preferred the film better than the book Because you can actually see what was happening and everything the victims and survivors were going through. For, me as Nicole said seeing the movie made it seem all so more real. I think that I enjoyed the movie better because it was very intense and accurate. I also got to see what the WTC looked liked inside.
the movie was very intense to see people die and go through such pain and it was based on a true story while watching this movie i went through different moods and emotions some of them were pleasant and some i couldn't get rid of.
i have learned that if one of your loved ones was in the building you wouldnt know if there dead or alive calling them and there not answer because of no connection hoping and praying there alive or safe i cant image what people had to go through that dead and to survive such disaster like this and what keep them alive was their loved ones that they had changed there lives either if you were there.
This film was very intense, at moments just very alarming because when the part where they showed tower 2 collapsing it was so realistic I thought it was all fake. But, that really did happen.
Well I learned that very few people has survived this was one of the most devastating moments of man kind. I though the book would have been the same thing as the movie but it was different it was outside.
I think the movie was like an extended package, perspective from the book. You get to see a perspective of people getting out of the building like worker and a perspective of police and firefighters trying to evacuate people like John and Will. If you read the book and watched the film then you would appreciate what people have been through. Plus we see how people react outside the situation like sergeant John's family and what they had been through.
Also the film was very vivid and real in the terms of computer animation and details like peoples names what time. In conclusion the movie was very intense and many would appreciate it because almost every detail is true. I like how they put accurate facts at the end. That really surprised and shocked me.
I have learned that if you believe in yourself and have courage you can have more chances of success. I'm not saying courage and to believe would be enough to success but they help increase chances. If John and Will slept when they were stuck the other rescuers would of never herd them and they would of died. Good thing Will tried to get water which made the noise to rescue them.
The movie was a great way to show how much really has happened in that time period. It makes us think how it would feel if we were in there position during that set of time and how people at home would feel if they lost someone or might lose one.
What I learned is that its was really difficult time when that time when the first crash happened. Especially for the workers and the emergency helper. ( Police, Ambulance etc. ) Another thing I learned is that 20 people only survived the crash while under the rumble. To me that is very surprising.
This movie was very good, while watching it I was filled with many different emotions, sad, because of seeing most of the police officers loose their life,and relived when John and Will were rescued. I think the movie was very powerful and intense and defiantly made me realize what people had to go through that day
I learned that families of the victims of 9/11 had to go through as much pain (emotionally)as the victims did, like not knowing weather their loved one was alive or not
But did the families of the victims really have to through excruciating pain of dirt in their mouths and not having any water or just catching little droplets of it? Or do you mean that the suspense building up to it basically killed their families?
if you were in the situation what would you do ? for example what would be your first reaction to do? would you kill yourself just as the other officer did or would you live and have allot of pain?
Rohan, If i were in this this situation i would be so scared. I don't think that I would have killed myself like the other officer did, I would have lived and have a lot of pain, I remember what Will said that "pain is your friend, pain means your alive". My first reaction, I would just be in shock, like I would be like saying this is not really happening. Like I would be so scared and in shock.
I thought that the movie was very sad and depressing because a lot of people lost their lives that day and family and friends lost somebody that was close to them. These people didn't know that this tragedy was going to happen it just did and this was just pure evil.
At, first I thought that Will and John would not survive but then when they were rescued I felt relived. In this attack there were heroes the people that gave their lives trying to save others.
@Eden, true because as i think it was John who said that because of 9/11 it brought people together.Which makes sense for the second book- United We Stand
I learned that hardly no one survived when it fell and holy 20 people and there more then 10,000 people in the building and only 20 came out when it fell that's a lot and I used to think it wasn't that serious but it was very serious.
After watching this I actually shed a tear it was just so emotional, intense and powerful. Over 2000 people lost their innocent lives that day and only 20 survivors.Just to think that if they knew what was going to happen they never would have came to work that day-they never would have lost their lives. At the end it said that Will had 13 surgeries in 8 days. Also, John was in a coma for 6 weeks and had 27 surgeries. I was shocked when I saw that man falling head first from the tower, like it was just so sad to see it.

ya but i do not think that anyone would be prepared for the WTC to fall
Deletebut you should be prepared for the extreme so they should have thought to the extent of the building falling.
Deleteso if you worked in the WTC would you think that the WTC will fall and also how would you be prepared when you are so high from the ground
Deletejust as will did i would rush to the bottom and what would go through my head is many things such as family friends and somewhere there the thought of the building falling even if the chances of me thinking of them falling.

DeleteI agree with that because USA was in War when the tower went down. As Mr Cheney said, USA was never been attacked in American soil until that day.
DeleteFrom the book I learned that the people in the building would rather die by jumping out of the building than die from burning to death/destruction.
ReplyDeleteThe film was extremely powerful. It was really accurate but a great movie overall.

That's so true if you give up then everything's over!!!!!!
DeleteAhlieee, If they would have given up they would have been finished, but they didn't so that was good.
Deletei thought both the movie and book were amazing.

the book was really intense. there was always debate about if they are making it out. this always kept the book fresh. when im at home, i always want to read the next couple of chapters.

Has anyone looked up What John and Will are doing now? Realize even this film is a few years old now.
ReplyDeleteAnybody want to explore and share?
John McLoughlin is currently resides in Goshen, New York with his wife Donna and four children. He once served as the Goshen school board president
Deleteit doesnt say much about what they are doing now.
Deleteit just says their story.
they are retired and living in new york and new jersey
The Movie seems to be better then the book for most.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this?
Does reading the book set you up to appreciate the film more?
Would the film be a powerful if you hadn't read the book?
test
Deletei think people prefer the film better because you can see what people are going through, and you can see whats happening instead of picturing it in your head

I don't think that I would have killed myself like the other officer did, I would have lived and have a lot of pain, I remember what Will said that "pain is your friend, pain means your alive". My first reaction, I would just be in shock, like I would be like saying this is not really happening. Like I would be so scared and in shock.
DeleteI thought that the movie was very sad and depressing because a lot of people lost their lives that day and family and friends lost somebody that was close to them. These people didn't know that this tragedy was going to happen it just did and this was just pure evil.
ReplyDeleteAt, first I thought that Will and John would not survive but then when they were rescued I felt relived. In this attack there were heroes the people that gave their lives trying to save others.
@Eden, true because as i think it was John who said that because of 9/11 it brought people together.Which makes sense for the second book- United We Stand
Delete*but i think
DeleteYeah, I remember at the end it said something like that.
DeleteI learned that hardly no one survived when it fell and holy 20 people and there more then 10,000 people in the building and only 20 came out when it fell that's a lot and I used to think it wasn't that serious but it was very serious.
ReplyDeletei also found it surprising that only 20 survived.
Deletejohn and will were 18 and 19 of who survived.
only*
ReplyDeleteWhen the building did fall, people were still trying to evacuate the building but couldn't get out.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching this I actually shed a tear it was just so emotional, intense and powerful. Over 2000 people lost their innocent lives that day and only 20 survivors.Just to think that if they knew what was going to happen they never would have came to work that day-they never would have lost their lives.
ReplyDeleteAt the end it said that Will had 13 surgeries in 8 days. Also, John was in a coma for 6 weeks and had 27 surgeries.
I was shocked when I saw that man falling head first from the tower, like it was just so sad to see it.
