With the fifth anniversary of 9-11 approaching, Hollywood is releasing a pair of prominent movies — including this week’s “United 93” — that re-enact in harrowing detail the events that transpired on September 11, 2001. A recurring question being posed is whether or not America is ready to relive the tragedy of the terrorist attacks in an entertainment medium.
So this week, Q-Line wants to know: Do you feel it’s a good time for Hollywood to dramatize the attacks, still fresh in our collective memories? Do you plan on seeing “United 93”? Why or why not?
Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your responses in the weekend edition. Please try to limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response.
