Just went to watch the movie11"09"01. It merged the efforts of 11 international directors who were asked to commit their subjective conscience to the topic of 9-11. Each director produced a segment for the film exactly 16,057 frames long. This lasts 11 minutes, 9 and 1/24 seconds, to symbolize 11-9-2001, the date of the 9-11 attack, in a commonly used international format.
The most powerful of the shorts and my favorite one is also the most simple. The mexican director's keep the screen entirely black, interrupting it every 30 seconds or so with retina-assaulting bursts of the World Trade Center carnage. The soundtrack is an audio collage, mixing news reports of the tragedy with cell-phone calls and e-mails from victims on the aircraft and in the tower, finally fading to a cacophony of Arab voices. Much of the impact is subliminal, and it is impossible to watch it without feeling a lump in the throat, or a nod of agreement with the final statement, printed in Arabic and English: "Does God's light guide us or blind us?"
Amazing feeling as the images indeed blind us in contrast with the dark projection room. My interpretation of it is that we think that CNN's image light us on what actually happen and what is important. All you see is people jumping from the towers, etc. In fact, it blinds us on what the situation actually is and that is illustrated in several movies of 11"09"01. In fact, US did loads of damages to numerous countries and nations and some of these people and actions are backfighting US in the most tragical way anyone could imagine. It's sad but this is the reality we need to look at to let God's light guide us and not blind us.
