Good movie

I watched World Trade Center over the course of the last few days and I really enjoyed it. It totally wasn't what I expected; I thought it was going to tell the story of 9/11 on a grand scale but it basically just tells the story of two Port Authority Police Officers who got trapped in an elevator shaft when the buildings collapsed, what happened as they were trapped and how their corresponding families dealt with waiting to hear about the mens' fate. It was very fascinating and really well-acted, too. Of course, I adore Maria Bello and Maggie Gyllenhaal anyway. (They play the wives). Unusual for me, I even listened to some of the commentary that comes on the DVD because instead of hearing from the director or the actors, this commentary is from the real people who the film is about. So they are there to tell us what is accurate and what is tweaked a little and also why some decisions were made to tweak the truth a little. It's just really fascinating. I kind of wish I didn't have to return the movie to the library tomorrow so I would have time to listen to all of the commentary. The next best thing, though, is that there are interviews with the real people on the movie's Web site.
