Twenty minutes before the movie is to end my heart beats faster and breath shortens. Five minutes before the end take in a deep breath of air, become cognizant of how little air is coming in. Plane crashes and screen goes black. The end. Theater is completely quiet with exception to sniffles and sobs. Sit for another couple minutes with a mix of emotions ranging from hope, sadness, love and disgust.
A catharsis rarely felt.
Final thought - on war footing you may not shed a tear, yet a purging of pity and fear will happen. _________________ "An activist is the person who cleans up the water, not the one claiming its dirty."

Some things there just aren't the words to describe.
Thanks for the effort GenrXr. I think we get the message.

I agree with a movie reviewer who said of "United 93", it's a great movie-I hated every minute of it. A word of warming though..if you are prone to motion sickness, do know the rapid handheld camera movement (particularily in the air traffic control scenes) can make you dizzy. It made me somewhat dizzy. |
