background
- Flight 93 had a budget of $ 15 million.
- The dialogues and playful presentations are largely improvised and should give the audience the oppressive feeling of being in the middle of the action.
- Many American cinemas took the trailer out of the program because moviegoers ran out of the halls crying, and there were shouts that it was “too early” for such a film.
- Paul Greengrass did not hire well-known actors for the film, but instead focused on authenticity by turning contemporary witnesses as well as pilots, stewardesses and air traffic controllers into actors. Some of the air traffic controllers shown in the film were involved in the real events of 9/11.
- The film was nominated for Best Director and Best Editing at the 2007 Academy Awards. In addition to a number of other awards, Paul Greengrass won the 2007 NSFC Award for Best Director from the National Society of Film Critics .
- The German-language first broadcast on television took place on September 9, 2008 on SF DRS and ZDF , two days before the seventh anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Subsequently, ZDF presented the accompanying documentary "Flight 93 - The Documentation" by Carl-Ludwig Paeschke and Uli Weidenbach.
- There is another television film with a similar name ( Flight 93 - Death Flight on September 11th ) by Peter Markle, which was shown on US television in 2006. In Germany, it was initially only released on DVD and first broadcast on VOX on September 10, 2009 . It is very similar to the film discussed here.
Reviews
"The most stirring and captivating film of the year."
“Largely improvised by the Irishman Paul Greengrass ('The Bourne Conspiracy') in the style of a docudrama, the gripping minutes that changed the face of America forever are captured soberly and without any greed for sensation. A film full of exorcistic power. "
Roger Ebert recognized the strengths of the film in the fact that it “does not” reveal the overall sequence (“big picture”), does not show any connections or previous history (s), that the terrorists are also portrayed as human beings, and that there are just as few heroes .
Manohla Dargis of the New York Times referred to a “sleep-shattering, sensory- overwhelming style that can cause tears and headaches” (“temple-pounding, sensory-overloading way that can provoke tears and a headache”).
The disparagement of the German passenger, Christian Adams, as a cowardly disbelief was mainly criticized in the British media, largely ignored in the US and hardly noticed in Germany due to the synchronization.
The German Film and Media Assessment FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating particularly valuable.
