What do you think of the made for TV movie "Flight 93". It's about the flight that crashed in PA on 9/11. It apparently got big ratings for A&E (their highest EVER), and is just one of a number of this kind of thing relating to 9/11.
I'm honestly not comfortable with it (so don't watch it - obviously), and I'm not comfortable with people profiting from these kinds of things for entertainment. I don't find anything entertaining about the program -- and it can't possibly count as "educational" -- it's not a documentary.
I did watch the documentary made by the French brothers who happened to be shooting a documentary on the NYFD (I think it was called 9/11). It was very hard to watch, but I felt like I should. So it's not as though I'm opposed to watching or learning about it (in fact, I kind of feel a need to read or see things about it - even though nothing will ever make sense of it). I'm sure there was money made on this project as well -- but these men were there and risked their lives. Someone wrote a script for the A&E thing.
I guess I just see it as too raw a subject, and too likely to hurt more people this soon. What do you think, and did anyone watch it?
