Another way to "recreate history"

When the passengers on Flight 93 called home and said "I love you" to their families, I burst into tears in front of the screen. It's really like what it says in "Love Actually," when people made 911 calls, it wasn't about hate, it was about love.
The film is shot in the style of a documentary, but in fact a lot of the plot is fictional, and some of the events are re-enactments. Probably because many things on the plane are really unpredictable, so the film uses a lot of space to reproduce the situation of the US military, aviation control center and airport tower at the time of the incident. The appearance of the identity shows the authenticity of the film. The deepest impression is that the air traffic controller who met 911 on the first day he was promoted (played by himself), his expression was always calm, but he could feel his surprise and determination during the whole incident; there was also the female Air Force correspondent, this one. I don't know if it's me acting, but every time I watch her report the real-time situation with a crying voice, I feel very uncomfortable.
Even more distressing is the scene on the plane. Although everything is speculative, the horror of the claustrophobic space created by the film is extremely real. But in the United States, a country that advocates heroism, there are still people who can stand up at this time (the Nanjing Massacre suddenly came to mind when I watched it, and I was a little ashamed), in order to save their own lives and defend their own country, burst out awe-inspiring Respect brave.
In the subtitles at the end of the film, not only do you see many actors playing "Himself", but you also see a list of all the passengers and flight attendants, and everyone has someone to play. Seeing this, in addition to being shocked, I am respectful, and still a little ashamed.
