Watch 9/11 For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Fantastic!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Two brothers film different parts of the city. One is in the towers showing the firefighters and the other is in the streets showing the civilians. You can see and hear everything in this movie. You hear people falling from the building, screaming of people, the shock on everyone's faces, and the towers being crashed into and falling.This documentary follows the firefighters struggle and how everyone banded together to save lives.What was going to be a totally different documentary turned into thee best one documenting a tragic moment in history. This documentary shows what everyone went through on that fateful day.

Made by french brothers Jules and Giddeon Naudet, and narrated by Robert De Niro and Firefighter James Hanlon this is a compelling and heartbreaking tale of how New York's finest shone on it's darkest day. I first saw this when I was a young naive 12 year old, and at that age it still touched me. Knowing how serious 9/11 really was seeing this expanded the whole effect of 9/11. We were finding out who the heroes were, how there everyday lives were composed, and how they put their lives on the line in a situation where most people would just run and save their selves. These brave men put their lives on the line and watching this just increases my admiration for them. Watch if you can,this is the best documentary I have personally ever seen.

I rented this for my son who is recently found interest in 9/11. He was a Kindergartener at the time and had no idea what was unfolding. I liked the way it was told as a "documentary." If there was one movie that I would recommend to see concerning 9/11, this would be THE one! Normally you see a movie it has actors that are well known. This movie had nobody known. Also, you see a movie concerning 9/11, you hear about a fire-fighter or two losing their lives saving people. I didn't feel this had any of that! I only rented this movie and would definitely consider adding it to my collection! Very well done indeed! My heart goes out to the survivors and families of victims of 9/11!

It wasn't supposed to happen. Their initial intention was to follow a fireman from the fire academy through the 9 month probationary period. Tony was chosen from the fire academy and he was stationed at firehouse number one in New York City only a couple blocks from the World Trade Center. Watching the documentary, you can't help but be moved by it. They didn't know what was going to happen and on September 10, 2001, they filmed the twin towers from their firehouse. The Twin Towers was considered not to be attractive but I never thought so. I thought they completed the skyline of New York City. Even from 30 miles away, you could have seen them in my area whether up on a hill or somewhere else. I miss those buildings and mourn the devastating loss of the people inside even though I didn't know anybody personally lost. You take for granted that you see a certain building or landmark. Imagine if the French lost the Eiffel Tower or Rome lost the Vatican, it's a horrible thought because we didn't think something like the events on September 11 could ever happen and so fast. Think about the Titanic, nobody thought she could sink and when she hit the iceberg, she sank faster. The Titanic and the Twin Towers were a lot alike. We thought they would be invincible and last forever. I can't remember when I last saw the Twin Towers. I think it was when I got my new car the week before and saw the New York City skyline wishing I was there. Like Titanic, the Twin Towers was destructible only by man's destruction. Watching this documentary, you get to know what was going on with the firemen. They are never the same again after this day. I resisted watching this tape because I didn't need to see any more footage but this tape is different, it's worth watching at least once. You get to know these firemen, their brotherhood, their closeness to death, and surviving the horrific day and watching it on television. We weren't prepared then but maybe we are now that we are not invincible. This documentary is worth the awards and accolades although I think the film directors would tell you that they would preferred it to be something boring and no lives lost. Watching the brothers reunite after thinking that one might have been lost is one of the most touching scenes ever.
