What do you think about films focussing on 9/11?
I think they are so arrogant. They've sold out their tragedy for
entertainment, they want to be adored but just appear needy and self-
absorbed.
Who's arrogant? Please name a 9/11 victim who's involved in the
making of these movies.

So 'Schindler's List' 'Sophie's Choice' 'Exodus' 'Mila 18'
'Disappeared' 'Hotel Rwanda' 'The Killing Fields' 'Blood Diamonds' 'Boy
Soldier' are all arrogant too? Just in it for the money.

You cannot compare Schindlers List to 9/11 movies, for one thing, the
victims of the Holocaust didn't have a voice, they suffered
desperately for too long and their screams and cries were unheard 9/11
wasn't that long ago and yet we have a slew of movies with so called
'heroes' the heroes were infact the fire brigade who were just doing
their jobs, they aren't miracles workers, they were paid for it.

So if you get paid, you can't get any respect for your work. Gotcha.

America didn't get involved in the 2nd World War for many years,
leaving the rest of the world looking like a parched blackened land,
the Japanese then launched an attack on Pearl Harbour to which
Americans responded to by dropping a nuclear bomb on Japan for
goodness sake! the nuclear bomb could have been used in many desperate
moments before then but it wasn't because it was an absolute last
resort/shouldn't-ever-be-deployed tactic. Now American's wear t-shirts
saying 'Nuke-Em!' on it, how insensitive. Pearl Harbour was
mysteriously created not long after Titanic in an attempt to flex the
CGI in their own patriotic project.

Anti-American much? We can't win, can we? You blame us for not entering WWII early enough, implying that we have a responsibility to police the world, and then later on you blame us for going to Iraq.

I wouldn't doubt that there are Americans with Nuke 'em t-shirts, but I've never seen one, and I live here. Got any evidence for that?

As for the movie Pearl Harbor, it is widely regarded as a piece of suckage. Using it as a way to make your point isn't strengthening your argument.

I'm not saying 9/11 wasn't a despicable tragedy and a terrible loss
but making movies in less than 5 years after it happened is just wrong.

Why? All your hand-wringing isn't giving us a reason. It's just oh, you awful Americans, stop making movies. Why? Give a reason.
