I went to see 9.11 this afternoone, has anyone seen this morsel? Ken Loach´s offering was worthy but dull, Sean Penn´s eventless, predictable, the Israeli one predictable, the Iranian one interesting for some of the beautiful Iranscapes, the French one quite imaginative, the Japanese one looked the best but I had to leave in the middle of it. Does anyone else feel that it is unfair to emphasize this event, when the deaths of so many at the hands of the US still remain untrumpeted. That´s the trouble when ´leaders´ create ´wars´, real ´enemies´ can´t expect much sympathy or empathy, even when they happen to be bystanders, but then ´no one is innocent´ (did Sartre say this, I read it recently on a Sex Pistols cover - I re-invested in this to great effect). Another thing, I read a savaging of Forrest Gump by Slavoj Zizek, any thoughts on this article or film?
