September 11th Movie Response

The perspective of this movie was, to me, the most interesting part; seeing people running for their lives when the buildings collapsed, walking around the deserted streets covered in debris, and watching people in complete shock not knowing what to do. The majority of the images associated with 9/11 are of planes going into the building or ground zero with the firefighters searching through the rubble. And although those moments are awful we have witnessed them before. Seeing the day reported on by someone whose job it is to stay composed and come up with a planned script is completely different then this movie, where the reporters were everyday people who were reacting to a horrible situation the way an everyday person would. Simply hearing the commentary of someone experiencing 9/11, and the days after, made the story so much more relatable. It put you in the place of people where this event consumed and became their lives. People weren't concerned with who or why someone would do this yet they just wanted to help in any way possible. That was the most powerful. Anyone was willing to do anything to help people they had never met.
