Chills

I went to see a movie the other night, but this post isn’t about the movie I went to see. It’s about one of the trailers that preceded the featured movie. I was surprised at how it affected me to watch and listen to about a minute’s worth of advertising.

I knew they were going to make a movie about it, but the trailer, mostly comprising shots of a radar screen coupled with snippets of conversation, gave me quite a chill. Flight 93, a film about the fate of the United Airlines flight of the same number, will be out sooner than I had expected. I wouldn’t necessarily be sure about seeing this one, but the director, Paul Greengrass, has handled historically delicate subject matter well in the past, so hopefully this one will be on par with that.
