Today in international English we watched the movie 9/11 which is a movie, or a documentary about the attacks against world trade center in September 2001. It was a very strong movie, giving me many thoughts and unforgettable pictures. The documentary is about two French brothers who are journalists visiting New York to see and film how firefighters work. The journalists were not prepared to experience the attacks, well of course nobody was. Watching this movie gave us many pictures that are not to describe. The movie gave us a picture of the work the firefighters were doing. The strongest scene to me in the movie was defiantly when the firefighters returned the day after and began the rescuing of people buried in the ruins. The work they did was heroic and they should always be remembered for their courage. One of the firefighters said a phrase that in my eyes was pretty memorable. He said "I realized how evil, evil can be". When the young firefighter said this, I could see the sadness but also anger in his eyes. The curriculum goals we can draw in after watching this movie is about culture, societies and literature. One of the goals is to discuss international and global challenges. Watching this movie we see many challenges the United States meet upon during, and after the attack. The United States has actually never been attacked on own earth, before this attack 9/11. In addition to that the attack has spread a lot of fear among people, it has also has increased the rules and security on airports.
To me this movie is one of the best movies I have seen about 9/11. It is a very strong movie, especially when you know everything has happened in real. I like the way they avoid showing the most awful scenes, and that is one of the main reasons I find this movie very well made.
