For the Love of Money

I am positively disgusted right now. I saw on www.cnn.com today an interview with a writer and a mother of one of the passengers who died on a plane in 9/11 discussing the upcoming movie United 93. This was the first I had heard of such a movie coming out. So I watched the trailer. And I was appalled. Is this really necessary?? Do we really need a movie depicting a studio's rendition of what might have occurred on that day? It's not like anyone has even remotely forgotten about what happened, considering that it was not even five years ago! It seems incredibly distasteful to release a movie about such a horrific event, so recently after it occurred, for the mere sake of making a buck. Let's call a spade a spade, people - this movie is not about educating anyone, it's not about providing historical reference to an event that is fading in the minds of the new generation who did not live through it - it's about cashing in on one of the biggest tragedies in American history. And for that, Universal and everyone else who supported the making of this film should be ashamed of themselves.
