No images of 9/11. I think the movie must have been basically finished before those events occured.

It shows Bin Laden for a couple of seconds, but that's it.

Wow someone is sensitive.

What/how does Bin Laden fit in/ what does it represent. Need some help here.

I would only really love to see this film IF it does not shows an images of nipples or anything remotely hinting it. Well, woman nipples, anyway.

Thank you so little

If there's no 9/11 footage, I'm not interested in the slightest!

Hmmph!

I was surprised that there wasn't any 9/11 footage, considering when this was released. I suspect the images of Osama bin Laden were taken in the '90s. I assume most of this was in the can before the Sept. 11 attacks.

I wonder if Reggio has considered making a 9/11 film? It would certainly be very provocative -- much more so than this, which was more a collection of images (beautiful and repellent) than a cohesive film.

What does the Bin Laden refer to in this movie?

[–] WarpedRecord 8 years ago

It's been seven years since I've seen this, and I don't remember the context of bin Laden in this film, but as I recall it's just some brief file footage of him, the kind you'd seen on newscasts before (and especially after) 9/11.

Doesn't it have a message like all the other clips/images? It's it the "New World" segment BTW... ; one of the few images being 22 that I noticed.

[–] WarpedRecord 8 years ago

Unfortunately, I don't remember much of this film seven years after I've seen it, other than being very disappointed because the first two films were much better. I barely remember making that post in this thread. Sorry about that. Did you say you saw this? Maybe you could refresh my memory if you recognized bin Laden in this.

[–] gameshowalex 7 years ago

It was stock footage of what appears to be him giving a speech.

urgh, I know how you feel. Showing 9/11 footage is sick. I mean, do we really need to be reminded of how the government treats us like stupid dogs and setup the attack? It's demoralizing.
