World Trade Center

This afternoon I saw the Oliver Stone film, World Trade Center. It's a powerful film about two Port Authority police officers trapped in the rubble of the collapsed towers of the World Trade Center. Based on true events, the officers, John McLoughlin and Will Jimeno (played by Nicholas Cage and Michael Pena), are two of only twenty people rescued from the WTC on 9/11/2001. According to a story I read in Newsweek, the film very accurately depicts the struggle of these two men to stay alive when it seemed their rescue was impossible. "Jimeno called the film 95 percent accurate." I am not a big fan of seeing movies in theaters, but it was worth seeing this one. The sound of the film is integral and could not be appreciated as well in another venue.
