That's a tough question....
This is a fictional story with non-fiction characters. Actual people thrown into a fictional story supported by a thin framework of fact. They weren't consulted, they weren't interviewed, they weren't even asked if they wanted to be a part of the project.
Not to mention it's an emotionally manipulative movie. 9/11 hasn't really had time to settle. Every couple of months, someone comes along and rips the scab off, usually to get us to buy something from them or vote for them.
So....exploitation all round...both us the movie-goer, which I have no problem with because we have a choice and the memory of these poor, dead folks who don't.
