And the technical aspects of this movie truly are remarkable.
The lengthy scenes with Will & John in the twisted morass junkyard purgatory were HEAVY.
The sound: I was reminded of Titanic (another disaster epic)
Remember when Jack is handcuffed to the pipe and Rose goes off looking for help?
The sounds coming from the bowels of the ship, creaking and groaning and booming- same thing in WTC.
The fires- the gunshots (what were the gunshots going off all about!?), the constant hail of dirt, rocks and pebbles- Oliver took us IN there.
Oliver doesn't give any more horror than we need.
We already know enough about it to have to see long gratuitous shots of pure carnage.
Our imaginations can fill in the blanks....
See it. Support it. Oliver Stone is one of the GOOD GUYS.
