Something has already struck me about United 93. Every single review talks about the movie as if it's some kind of masterpiece, yet the soundbites sound exactly like a *really* poorly scripted drama (the kind we're so used to we don't even notice anymore). It got me thinking: has any national media critic had the balls to say anything at all about this movie that's not positive?

All I hear on the radio is "these people were heros, go see it", and it's barely even out. Striking me as the worst form of propoganda already. Get the feelings of sorrow and nationalism going again now that it's waning in everyone's everyday life. Propoganda masquerading as art, is an awful thing; I hope that's not the case with this movie. I intend to see it, just not tonight. Mayeb a matinee tomorrow or something. It just doesn't sound like it's that well put together to me. I want to see the story unfold through the director's eyes, but I'm not holding my breath for anything inspiring.

...into the light of a dark black night.
