-- I cannot believe they are making a movie starring Nicholas Cage about 9/11. This is ridiculous. NOTHING will be as moving or have the impact as all the REALITY based documentaries that have aired since the event.

Here's what I am hoping to see, however, in this OLIVER STONE cinematic surreal nightmare: I hope they include a scene, even a brief 30 second spot, of a couple (or more) who are trapped above either of the impacts and know they are gonna croak, so they start FUCKING their brains out in their last moments on earth. This would be great, as well as add realism to the flick. We all KNOW there HAD to be at least one couple doing this ... I'd hope so anyway. Let's hope...



I don't know any statistics or sociology of such events, but the kind of animalistic sexual despair you rightly instinctively envision is not something that will show up in Stone's film. He is that most cretinous of cinematic creatures- a cowardly provocateur.
From my instincts, I doubt any of that occurred in the context you suggest. It may have happened as juvenile oppurtunistic protest amongst the peoples in the undamaged tower when the first was hit and they were told to go back to work instead of evacuating or gawking. But as human gesture against the apocalypse, I think such stuff only happens in abstractions like Opera or unhinged societies like Pompeii, itself and abstraction.
