I've been anticipating- and trying to imagine- such a film for the last five years. Francis Ford Coppola has been saying for ages now that Hollywood needs to examine 9/11, and I thnk that that's ultimately correct- that movies are such a fundamental part of our lives and our cultural heritage that for this subject not to be touched on (and granted, it would be the easiest subject in the world for someone to treat simplistically/exploitatively/xenophobically), encourages us to avoid so much as thinking about it. Ultimately, at least for myself (I speak as a New Yorker who couldn't attend an action movie for months, albeit one who is ultimately far less traumatized by 9/11 than many people I know personally), I think examining this subject is an important thing for Hollywood to attempt.
