"God uses the smoke screen as a barrier to cover the scene that humans cannot bear."
-"World Trade Center "

I really liked what the priest said, and the degree of liking it was about the same as that of his disliked line of "must return the color".

[b]Atypical disaster film[/b]

Strictly speaking, this is not a successful disaster film. In the disaster film, there should be a hero of the famous Shenwu walking through the difficulties and obstacles with a group of crying and screaming burdens, and finally staged a scene of victory and escape. Of course, he would sacrifice one or two for the sake of "reality." Sigh, and then welcome the bright future.

But this one is different, his hero is too useless...I originally thought that Nicholas, who I really like, would serve as a rescue team to rescue young girls who were besieged by the fire. . It wasn't until the damn tall building fell that I realized I was out of date, and this time he was treated as a half vase. Buried in that damn black hole two-thirds of the time. There is no action, no expression, in fact, it may be possible to change the actor. On the contrary, Michael Benia played Will, which is remembered. Will cry and laugh, remember to name the little girl. I even wonder if Nicholas is really the leading role. Later I discovered that he was indeed, even everyone was, and everyone was not. Because there are heroes everywhere

[b]Movies without protagonists[/b]

Some people say that Joe and Will are not heroes, even if they die, they are not martyrs. They did not sacrifice to save people, nor did they have any glorious deeds. They just fell down and waited for others to save. Then I would like to ask, what is a hero? A hero is a person, and a person is a hero. The so-called hero is a person who has the courage to face everything. There was a scene that moved me. The one who tried to save Will who was smashed wanted to ask for help. Will begged him to stay. In the end, he died but just said "I love you, remember I really I want to save you..." At that time, the whole audience was silent, listening quietly to the sound of the gunshot that represented the disappearance of life echoing through the loudspeaker in the theater for a long time. From the moment they stood up from the police team, those few people were heroes. Americans are different from Chinese people. They worship heroes but do not have a personal heroism plot. They can choose to save or watch. They still chose to go. Although they were afraid of death, they were not afraid. Those who tried to live in such a difficult environment were also heroes. In fact, it's not just them. Marines, former doctors, ambulance captains, unknown police officers, and those who haven't come out are heroes. Therefore, all heroes are buried under the World Trade Center. You become a hero when you are there (laughs)

[b]Unsatisfactory rhythm[/b]
After praise, it should be a criticism. It can be said that "World Trade Center" has a good humanistic depth, just like a young martial arts master who has a deep inner strength. It's just that this master wielded his sword like he didn't know martial arts. There was no rhythm at all. The pace of the movie is slow, and it goes and stops. Wandering in reality and memories, the montage of walking on the ground and underground is a double-edged sword. If it is not used well, it will be like this movie in every rhythm. Even the places that should be moving are not coherent, and the disaster repeats without the courage to take the lead. If there was such a lively rhythm as "Poseidon", probably the little golden man would also wave to him. It's a pity that it won't work this time.

[b]A little emotion[/b]

Regarding 911, for us Chinese, it is just a topic after a meal, a little chatting with friends, and the number of dead people who have passed away is just a number that makes us never think about it too much. My friend told me that the theme of 911 is already a cold meal, and it's not hot. I don't think so. For a country accustomed to living in peace, this is eternal pain. Those numbers are the lives that were once alive. It is said that this movie is adapted from real characters, and it is only two of the twenty people rescued, but the ones that did not come out are a hundred times more than them. I can't imagine what would happen to China if this happened. So, don't think of him as a tragedy for a country, this is a tragedy for everyone.

PS: This film can be watched together with "Fahrenheit 911" and "Flight 93". It is really a must-have product for home travel and sweet memories.

PS2: Regarding the phrase "must return the color", I suspect that the director is canvassing for Bush. I am probably afraid that the box office will not be enough, so let's make some of the president's advertising expenses as a subsidy, laugh.
