Cinema - World Trade Center -

Rushing downtown on the morning of September 11, 2001, a group of Port Authority cops, including Sergearnt John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage; right) and the rookie will Jimeno (Michael Pena), encounter a hallucinatowers. Later, tory storm of paper drifting down from the Twin Towers. Later, trapped in the rubble of the collapsing buildings, McLoughlin and Jimeno provide each other with whatever support and consolation they are capable of, while, at home, their families respond to the catastrophe and their uncertainty about the men with convincing degrees of fear, bravado, panic, and rage. Oliver Stone's aesthetically conservative 9/11 movie is a work of considerable power that captures the oppressive physical strangeness and exhausting emotional demands of that day.

The film was good. I could know the struggles, hardships and the panic the people faced in the WTC, 2001. I do however, think this movie is still controversial. Because the rest of John McLoughlin's team members were died. I wonder how their families would feel to see this film. I was a senior student when I first visited the Twin Tower observatory. Since then I'd been fascinated to see the entrance of the Windows on the World Restaurant.


The cost for the entire rebuilding is estimated range from $9 billion to $13 billion, it is said.
