As terrible as 9/11 was. My first thought was of this movie that I had taped and watched years before on TV.
Have now purchased an old VHS copy and re watching it makes u see how many links there are between this and 9/11.
Very Scary. Anyone else ageee?
Absolutely. I saw this movie in 1993 on a bus trip to France while my military family was stationed in Germany--I was sort of a captive audience! It was scary and depressing, and usually I don't watch movies like that because I'm a terrible worrywart.
The morning of 9/11, I was leaving the supermarket and turned on the radio. It was around 9:30 a.m. The radio announcers were very matter-of-factly discussing how the WTC, the Pentagon, and maybe even the Capitol had been hit. "You just can't blame people for not being able to see something like this coming," they said. As I drove, I thought: gosh, that sounds just like that movie we saw on the bus! They must be talking about a movie--if not that one, a similar one: this can't be real! I got home, and turned on the tv just before the south tower fell, and found that, sadly, it WAS real.
But, yeah, this movie was the first thing I thought of when I first heard the news.
The scary thing is that in the film, you have terrorists attacking in our country, like the bombing of the capital. You are right, it sort of foreshadows 9/11. But I think the President in this film is much better than Bush (well, a donkey is better than him).
