United 93 was the first movie to depict the events of 9/11, it was met with mixed and odd reactions from all. Some movie-goers were distraught by in-theater trailers for the film, while filming was held in London to avoid unwanted attention.
Still, it was met with critical praise in the post-9/11 media scape, seemingly opening the gates for more patriotic, nationalistic renditions of the day that similarly decontextualize the united states’ imperial power and seek to justify a war on terror that has killed millions more civilians than were lost that day.
