UNITED 93
Read John Podhoretz' review of United 93. Spot on! Note the penultimate paragraph:
- "There's a lot of talk about whether Americans are "ready" to see a movie about 9/11. Some of that talk is doubtless due to the same attitude that says Americans can't possibly stomach seeing footage of the crashes, or the buildings falling. Such infantilization is an insult both to Americans, who are perfectly capable of handling such things, and to the memories of those who perished in the attacks, whose public murders are being treated as though they had been quiet and private deaths."
Go see it and exercise that "negative liberty" - (See "Food for Thought" from yesterday).
