On first thought
It was too early, it was too soon, hell it hasnt even been a full 5 years, so making a movie about life altering events that just happened, seemed wrong.

So I did it anyway, although I thought it was too early, I went to go see WTC the Oliver Stone movie, I wasnt prepared for what I witnessed.

as a sidenote I wanted to remind everyone that this movie could have been created to jog the memories of the voting public, but that is another conversation, for another day.

Back to the movie, WARNING, this is a spoiler... but we know how the story ends.

I realized when the movie started that there was not going to be a lot of activity before shit hit the fan. It all happened faster than I expected it to. I wasnt ready, and considering how the movie went along, the subjects of the film and the rest of the world wasnt either. It was scary, it was dark, and it was loud; I know that no surround sound setup in the world, could recreate the real situation, but damn.

As the movie went on I started to get that, sick to your stomach feeling; the audience was going to sit in the rock and metal, waiting for someone to save them, reality had set in, this was a shitty sitation. While it all went on I started to feel this overwhelming guilt. These men and women were willing to lose it all, to help others, the ultimate sacrifice, and here I was sitting in a theater, just attempting to grasp the situation. When it was all over, I felt worthless. It seemed crazy to go to work and just work on solving problems for students and staff members that are able, there are people out there everyday that need help, and we just sit, just like I was sitting in that theater, watching.

If you can go watch that movie, and just feel like you can go to your normal 9-5 gig on monday, i dont believe it.
