Port Authority officers John and Will are trapped in the collapsed twin towers, and their families are worried about them.
It's that simple, that's all the plot. This is the success of the film, and if anyone said it was a failure, it must also be there.
"Don't go near this house!"
John's wife shouted in horror to her husband's colleagues at the police station who came to her door.
She feared that the man would tell her the words she kept questioning and denying in her mind.
"If you go down, you may not be able to get up."
"I understand."
A simple conversation between rescuers.
"You kept me alive!"
the only thing John said to his wife after he was rescued.
The film did not describe the collapse of the twin towers too much, nor did it use special effects to show off skills like traditional Hollywood blockbusters, but instead returned the film to its original appearance-telling stories well and speaking people's words well.
There is no absolute hero, only absolute humanity. In the face of 9/11, "World Trade Center" shows us the brilliance of human nature and the greatness of family affection, but things that tell the "main theme" these days are often ridiculed by the media.
The director Oliver Stone was summed up by the media as "speaking uncontrollably and dying endlessly", so when he spoke about the disaster peacefully, we saw the media's disastrous scolding of his words, so it is not a good thing to say anything to be characterized.
Nicolas Cage's performance was a success, even though there wasn't much room for him, mostly under limeboard and brick, his unpretentious every move told us that this man may be in charge of your community The film cop of , but at this moment he is a hero. In fact, such roles are often unwilling to take on by big stars, and there are not many scenes. When they act, they have to wash away the prestige of those stars. If they can't wash them away, they will be scolded, but Cage did it.
I looked at the box office records of this film in North America posted on the Internet, 70 million US dollars.
For Americans who have never dared to face pain, it is not easy to have such a box office. I remember that when "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" was released in 2002, the producer wanted to keep the box office unaffected. Replacing the "Twin Towers" in the title shows our vulnerability to a certain degree of Americans.
Pain will leave scars, we have to learn to face it, and then embrace the warmth with gratitude.
