While my wife and I were at the movies yesterday, we saw a preview of a movie about September 11th. Playing on this major tragedy in recent US history is in extremely poor taste, in my opinion. I’m sure every adult remembers where he or she was on that fateful day and doesn’t want to relive the emotions. For me, I had gotten married 2 days prior and my wife and I were in a hotel room in San Luis Obispo; I was showering and she was watching TV. We couldn’t believe it and cut our mini-honeymoon (we took a few extra days off from work to drive back from our wedding down the California coast) short to head back home. It was a very eerie trip home as we heading down I-5 and passed LAX where it was completely empty and the exit was blocked, not to mention the light traffic for a Tuesday.
I don’t think movies about this tragedy are necessary and having people capitalize on it is shameful.
