WORLD TRADE CENTER

On Wednesday, lie qi and I went to catch the movie "world trade center". Now its for the movie review. For the trailer click here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469641/trailers

The touching film is based on the accounts of 2 survivors, Port authority sergeant John Mcloughlin(by Nicholas cage) and Will Jimeno(by Michael Pena) and
in the September 11 attack. The start of the film seemed like an ordinary Tuesday morning, but their "adventure" later on would not be so mundane. The story unfolds as the buildings collaspe and the two policemen struggles to survive.

I shall not tell too much about it, go watch it, it's nice.

The movie, directed by Oliver Stone, focuses on the human events- mainly on the 2 survivors- and brings out the selflessness and helpfulness of the people, instead of the tragedy or destruction, during that day. As the tagline goes, "The world saw evil that day, two men saw something else", lol, I saw it too, and the audiences can see that too.

The things I like about this film, it is not so "Hollywood", not that drama, natural and close to our hearts.

One thing I found ususual, Oliver stone did not use much of the "endlessly repeated" clips that we are already bored with. Instead he uses great sound effects and some maybe visual effects. It made the building's collaspe feels so real.

Everyone should go watch it... ya.
It's a good film.
