United 93

We all had to wake up in the morning of September 11, 2001 and discover a world that greeted us with so much of nightmare. After four and half years, when the memory of the day had already taken a back seat in my daily affairs, I somehow managed to find time to sneak in a theater to see the movie: United 93.

Initially I took a seat at the back but after a few minutes I went forward to take a front seat just to forget myself and get more absorbed into the movie like I used to be when I was too young.

Friends, it's worth watching. It's not a so called classic but transcends into timelessness with its 'almost documentary but not' story-style that tells us just what happened on that day inside and outside that flight ...and it's worthwhile for all of us to confront that experience at least once in the safe and comfortable world of a cinema house.

Don't watch it in DVD when it'll be out... Don't watch it when there's a possibilty that someone might call you ... Don't watch it if you are hungry or thirsty and you may feel like stopping the movie to have a trip to your kitchen ... Don't watch it if you can't wait for 110 minutes before your next trip to restroom .... Don't watch it in DVD and come back to me to say that it was not that good a movie.

Just go to the theatre.. and get lost ... At the end of it all... you may thank God that you have ground under your feet and most probably at this point of time no one is praying to his/her God [First scene] for your death without even knowing you .....

It's not a classic but it's one which made a determined choice without preaching anything. United 93 flew off to history and came back to ground with all its glory. The movie will haunt you and make you think and feel hard about the time and space of the universe that we are chosen to breathe in and you may choose not to breathe in and out to avoid disturbing the silence that prevails over the black screen in front of you at the end of it all.
