“ The Day that Everything Changed . Except Courage .”
kalunos-lunos na kalagayan gayong pwede naman natin itong lunasan sa simpleng pagmamahal sa ting bayan ?”
“ The Day that Everything Changed . Except Courage .”
By Mare Grace Pumanes
There goes the part , wherein you remember all your past wrongs , and your desire to make it right .
United by the need to survive . United by patriotism . United
by humanity . United by heart .
A masterful way of finding the meaning behind the 9 / 11 attack .
September 11 , 2011 . Four planes hi-jacked by extremist terrorist . With all eyes on the watch . Two hit the World Trade Center . Another into the Pentagon , but the last plane . United Airlines Flight 93 . Never hit its target and came crashing in the field of Pennsylvania .
In a movie , wherein Muslims are involved . It is too mainstream to begin the film with the villains reading out the Koran , or hearing them offering themselves up to God . By well you know , blowing themselves up with innocent people .
So , the movie did began with that and with the terrorist , together with all the passengers of the flight boarding in .
In the latter part , the action begins .
And the ' living in the moment " scenes .
And the story goes on , we watch National Air Traffic Control Center , airport towers , regional air traffic stations , and a military command room got into confusion , frustration and the attempt to do their job and save the day .
And the ' becoming aware ' part begins , and the passenger decided to never back down , and try to save their lives .
All characters depicted in the movie are not shown as heroes , nor presented as american reuniting , but people whose primary concern is self preservation . Reality .
But out of their attempt to rescue themselves , they became heroes of their race .
Saving millions by the lives of few .
Few strangers uniting .
And the famous part begins ,
Director Paul Greengrass makes no attempt to portray the victims / passengers or terrorist as people with history .
He gave the feel of being on that very same plane . Like all the characters on the movie , we know nothing ; they know nothing about the tragedy that made the whole world paralyzed .
In the latter part ,
Because there ' s no other way . A random one said " Let ' s Roll ".
After that the passengers knew that the plane was hi-jacked by some terrorist .
