"The Hamburg Cell" on HBO. |
|
A dramatization of the process leading up to 9/11. It looks like a portrayal of evil muslims who hate us for our freedoms. Gag!

1. I actually have seen it... |

It is exactly what you say, maveric, with on top of it the veneer of "we know what we are talking about". I don't know that much about 9/11, but I found this film to be full of falsehoods - and I mean even if just compared to articles in MSM...

What were the specific problems? The previews don't look too promising.

6. Well, for example, the hijackers |
|
especially Atta, are shown as hard liner Muslims... However, I read around 9/11 in the MSM that they actually went to a night club with lap dancers and drank, etc. Also they are shown as being on a crusade against Christianity, and not in any way connected to the Palestinian crisis, or any US policies abroad, or anything like that...

2. HBO movies are generally pretty fair |
|
And are almost always well-made. I'll see if before I pass judgment.

Extremely well done, with quite a few references to present realities, including Bush malapropisms and exposure of the conservative mindset ("You don't listen to the president? We're gonna mop the floor with the whole fucking world. The whole world is gonna be under our control, so what're you worked up about?" says Christopher to his girlfriend).
Which is not to say that I expect any MSM programme, fiction or non-fiction, to portray the evil TERRISTS as something even remotely similar to what I think is real ...
