Quote:I was surprised, and moved, by the very human story told in Oliver Stone's latest film "World Trade Center." Given Stone's penchant for political message, it was a relief that this film was almost completely absent of that taint. It focuses on the human element of dealing with catastrophe.

The film presents chaos and misinformation during a disaster particularly well, IMO. It handles the issue of survival being tied to will to live, and the will to keep struggling. It covers gallows humor with a light touch. It addresses the challenges presented to the families of people who do dangerous stuff for a living.

World Trade Center is well worth seeing for a politics-free evening at cinema, and a good piece of story telling.

Einstein said Everything is Relative.
Heisenberg said Everything is Uncertain.
Therefore, everything is relatively uncertain.
