The new film "911", starring veteran movie stars Charlie Sheen and Ubi Goldberg and Gina Gerson, released the latest trailer, which is set in the 911 incident in the United States and tells the story of a group of people trapped in the elevator of the World Trade Center during the 911 incident and struggling to survive. The new film was released in North America on September 8, which is also a memorial to the 9/11 incident itself.
The film stars Charlie Sheen in "Friends" and Ubi Goldberg, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for "The Ghost of Man", but she is best known for the image of the crazy nun in "Nuns Are Crazy".
In addition, there is Gina Gerson, who became famous for her stunning performance in "Showgirl", and then "Crazy Flowers" and "Changing Face", which are classics. There is also an old face who likes to participate in criminal investigation TV series, Louis Guzman, who has his appearance in too many plays, and I will not elaborate here.
There are many films on the theme of 911, but most of them are partial to the record, and the new film released has a very unique angle, focusing on the time of the event, several people trapped in an elevator of the World Trade Center, not only experiencing the beginning and end of the shocking event in a small space, but also testing human nature, as well as terrorist events that bring various problems, such as claustrophobia, such as the collapse of human nature at the end of the world.
The series of terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center in New York, USA, are still fresh in my memory. Two civilian airliners hijacked by terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center Building One and The World Trade Center Building Ii in New York, the United States, and the two buildings collapsed one after another after being attacked; the other hijacked passenger plane crashed into the Pentagon of the US Department of Defense in Washington, D.C. The events of 9/11 triggered a chain reaction, such as the U.S. military offensive against Afghanistan, the encirclement of al-Qaida by the Taliban, and the arrest of os-im bin Laden.
As the most serious terrorist attack on the United States mainland, the 911 incident killed as many as 2996 people and suffered countless property losses, after which the United Nations said in the report that the terrorist attack caused economic losses to the United States as high as $200 billion. In addition to the economic losses, it has had a huge impact on the psychology of the American people, and many of the films filmed since then have focused on the psychological repair of the people after the war.
There are many original details of the 911 incident in the trailer, such as the time the hero checked the watch after entering the elevator did not cause 8:44 minutes, and 2 minutes later the first plane crashed into the 93-99 floors of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing hundreds of people who were working in the impact area on the spot.
As the plane plunged right into the building, cutting off all the stairs, hundreds of people were trapped in the impact area and eventually no one survived. The 92nd floor is located below the impact area, but the stair passage is blocked by the falling floor slab, because the floor is also unused, the 91st floor is not hit by the 92nd floor and all survived, some media said that the 91st floor is the "dividing line between life and death".
The trailer is almost 20 minutes after the first impact, there is a second impact, that is, at 9:03, the second plane crashed into the 77-85 floor of the South Tower, when the remaining more than 600 people in the South Tower were in the impact area and above the unvacated, the plane just swept through the lobby of the 78th floor, and almost all the more than 200 people who would be evacuated by the elevator were killed.
According to statistics, more than 200 people died in the elevator, the Twin Towers have a total of 198 elevators, there are 64 elevator cables through the impact area, there are 48 elevators without survival, the plane crashed many elevator cables, causing the elevator to lose support and fall, the World Trade Center is equipped with the latest anti-pickpocket door device, preventing people from picking doors to escape the elevator, those trapped in the elevator, did not escape alive. In the trailer, you can see the elevator with the cable broken falling downwards, and the two consecutive impacts make the elevator of the north tower stop, and the people who escape from the elevator are trapped in the elevator.
When recalling this shooting, the film's protagonists all brought in their feelings for the event itself, "People trapped in the elevator, half a foot has stepped into the coffin, still have to work together," the crisis not only tested human nature, the tragedy condensed people's hearts, and the key moment fixed human nature".
There's also a highly recommended film about 911, Stephen Dudley's 2011 film Special, Very Close, starring Academy Award winner Tom Hanks, as well as Sandra Bullock, Max von Sito, Viola Davis and John Goodman.
Mainly about the 9-year-old boy Oscar's father was killed in the 911 accident, the little boy through a letter and a key accidentally found, met many witnesses and survivors of the 911 incident, while carrying out the game of reconnaissance and exploration, but also let us see the psychological trauma of the 911 incident to the people from the inside out. The film was nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Picture that year.
In addition to the feature film, there is also a commemorative film "911 Incident Book" produced by many directors, and in 2002, a year after the 9/11 incident, the French studio canal film company invited 11 directors and actors to direct short films with a length of 11 minutes and 09 seconds and 01 frames to form a film collection.
It tells the mourning of people's empathy for war, disaster and death after the war, some judge the disastrous consequences of American hegemonism to the people from a critical point of view, others analyze the meaning behind the holy war in the form of myths from the fable part; others focus on the fate of small people, and reflect the impact of the 911 incident on people's lives from the change of life trajectory of small people. The 11 short films have different angles, different shooting methods, and different expressions, but they all express the same theme, that is, rejecting war, yearning for peace, and cherishing life.
16 years after the events of 9/11, filmmakers continue to remember the lives of those killed in the events through movies, but the war is not over, and the US President Trump administration has announced that it will continue to increase troops to Afghanistan, the scale is expected to be 3500 people. The date of the real dormancy of war is far away, and it will take time to see when true stability and peace will be achieved.
