It somehow doesn't feel like four years. Do you recall where you were and how you heard about what happened that day?

What do you think should be at Ground Zero to commemorate the victims of that day?

The months following the horrifying events of 9/11 were mixed with trepidation and uncertainty regarding our futures. What are your thoughts four years on?

Sure, it's a tragedy that it happened, but i wish political figures would stop bringing it up to make us feel pity and want to pay attention to them more.

Thank you, I've been saying that forever it seems like, yet I'm labeled as "unpatriotic" well if being Patriotic means I can't have my own views then **** America.

patriotism: love for or devotion to one's country

There, that's settled.

But yes, it doesn't seem like four years, although to be honest, I don't think I will ever forget the things that happened that day, especially with the (false) plane crash scare that happened where I lived.

I was at school when it happened. We didn't have classes the rest of the day. We watched the news

I remember when it happened back in the 7th grade.

We were inthe middle of science when Mrs. Hagood came rushing in the room to call us to the other side (team of three, one room seperated by a wall, and the other a door), we came in there and the TV was on talking about it.

Sad. It's been a quick four years.

Ironically, today is the final day of filming for a movie I'm in "about" 9/11.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Question

What kind of movie? Like a silver-screen, a big screen, or home movie? I'll have to watch if it's the first two.

Feature-length, shot on film (not videotape), no-budget, indie, silent, fiction (not documentary).
It probably won't be done editing & mixing until next summer (what with classes & everything; the writ/dir is a fellow student), and then it'll just be in festivals & whatnot for a while.
