Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Regardless of whether it was "too early" in 2006 to dramatize the events of September 11th, 2001, World Trade Center succeeds as a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of those who served at "ground zero" in the wake of terrorist attacks on the WTC's twin towers in New York City. Removed from the politics of war and terrorism (yet still, like all films, inherently political in expressing its point of view), Oliver Stone's potent drama focuses on the nightmarish ordeal, and subsequent rescue, of Port Authority policemen John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Peña), who were buried deeply within the rubble of the WTC after the twin towers collapsed. Granted, it's only the film's historical context that distinguishes it from any other dramatic rescue story, but in focusing on the goodness of humanity in response to the evil of terrorists who remain unnamed and off-screen, Stone and first-time screenwriter Andrea Berloff create an emotional context as powerful as anything Stone has directed since Platoon. Even as he resorts to some questionable tactics typically lacking in subtlety, Stone refrains from much of the blunt-force filmmaking that has made him a critical punching bag, rising to this challenging occasion with a heartfelt and deeply American portrait of unity – personal, familial, and national. Flaws and all, World Trade Center serves an honorable purpose, reminding us all that for those fleeting days in September 2001, America showed its best face to a sympathetic world. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars Respect, Mr. Stone April 2, 2007
Format:DVD
I remember Sep 11 like this: I was visiting in Shanghai, came to my hotel room in the evening, not so late, turned on CNN as usual, and saw a plane fly into one of the towers. It took me quite some time to understand what I had just seen. I called my wife and asked her to turn on TV at home. She had not heard yet.
I never felt more American than on that day.
I am German, by the way.
When I heard that Oliver Stone was making a movie about this, I could not believe it. Too early, too monumental, too emotionally loaded, too ideologically simple. This could only become a bad film.
It hasn't. It is a simple story about confusion and heroism and survival. Well done.
You never see a plane fly into anything. You only hear people talk about it, but there are also some who don't believe it. It shows you the segmented vision of people who are near the center. People watching TV in Shanghai probably knew more of what actually happened right at the time than those caught in the middle of it.
Stone stays away from explicit interpretation, he leaves that to the spectator.

It would have been easy for Oliver Stone to focus his attention on the people watching as the planes struck them in the tower. It would have been more dramatic to concentrate on those who lost their lives as opposed to those who survived. It would have been more action-packed, if Mr. Stone had followed the news reels, instead of narrowing his vision to just a small team of heroes trapped inside the rubble. A less experienced director would have made all of those mistakes. Stone chose to cast light on what really became of America during the moments of September 11, 2001. None of us need to be reminded of the thousands of lives that perished. What "World Trade Center" does remind us of, is how people from across the nation and around the globe came together; how hundreds risked their lives to save only a few, and why peace is not something Americans can take for granted. Although many a tear was shed at the premiere featuring local police and fire officials, the movie had an uplifting message. Everyone in the audience that I spoke with loved the movie and many were surprised that the film wasn't more depressing. I was encouraged by the way the film was crafted and quite pleased with the end result. New information had come to light that I had not been aware of and it was interesting to see how those directly involved were effected. I understand that for many, the thought of seeing a recreation of those horrific events will prevent them from venturing out to their local theatre. I, for one, believe that the film was tastefully done and there's good lessons to be learned by all. There was only one actual shot in the film that I questioned. It was news footage of one of the people jumping to their death from one of the top floors. However, that scene later explains the sound that the firefighters heard as bodies crashed around them. There was so much confusion from within the buildings that brief glimpses of news footage needed to be shown so that the viewers could better understand what those inside did not. I had expected to break down during the film, but intermixed with the drama of the situation is some slight humor between the two trapped Port Authority officers as they struggled to maintain composure and keep themselves alive. I applaud all involved with the project on a job well done. I never felt that the film took advantage of the terrible situation, but instead, paid incredible respect to the men, women, family, and friends who lives were cut short and forever impacted. "World Trade Center" is a fitting tribute to America and for what our nation stands.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very well crafted. December 21, 2006
Format:DVD
Oliver Stone has made a very compelling and respectful portrayal

of one of the most inspiring stories of survival in our time.

I've seen a lot of movies in my life and this one is one of the few

that have stayed with me for days after seeing it. I was engaged from

beginning to end. World Trade Center also feels like one of Stone's

earlier films like Salvador or Platoon.Very raw.

There are a few minor flaws. The only complaint I have is the portrayal

of Staff Sargeant Karnes. It simply stands out too much in comparison

to the natural portrayal of the rest of the characters.

This is still a good film and an important film. Anybody who snubs

Stone for not making the conspiracy film they expect from him need to

get over it and see this. If he wanted to make a conspiracy film he

would have. He wanted to spread some hope. How could anyone have a problem with that? Thank you,Oliver!
