聯航93 (保羅格林葛拉斯, 2006)

911事件是進入21世紀以來最重大的事件，就在發生不久後，大家都在說這是好萊塢取材的下一個目標，果然在五年後的2006年，就有兩部關於911事件當時狀況的電影，一部是奧立佛史東執導、敘述兩位警察在困在世貿殘骸中的「世貿中心」，一部就是這部由英國導演保羅格林葛拉斯導演的「聯航93」。

成為唯一一架未被恐怖份子得逞撞擊目標的班機，大家對於當時機上英勇的乘客們都懷著敬佩之心，卻難以想像當時狀況，而十分忠實地呈現發生在聯航93上來龍去脈的這部片，滿足了想對這些人更進一步了解的大眾。

影片開始於在飯店內正在祈禱的恐怖分子，隨後在航站、航空指揮中心、航管局和班機上交叉進行，完全令觀眾有身歷其境之感，除了一群默默無名卻表現傑出的二線演員，格林葛拉斯在蒐集各方通話紀錄和資訊後編寫的精密劇本，也是令本片傑出的一大主因。

格林葛拉斯早在2002年勇奪柏林影展最佳影片的「血染星期天」中展現他營造真實情境的功力，而在這部片中仍是十分傑出，加上精準的剪輯，使本片雖有紀錄片般的架構，卻有動作片般的質感，在精采緊湊的過程中，還能深刻體驗人類面臨危難或準備自我犧牲時的人性。

本片採取毫不作任何批判的客觀觀點，即使我們已先入為主地將恐怖份子視為反派，而其他與他們對立的人都是正派，但事情永遠不可能這麼簡單，格林葛拉斯只想讓本片名副其實地就只是關於聯航93，不加以任何道德批判或事件的前因後果，就結束在班機墜地最驚悚的那一秒。

評分：10/10

United 93 (Paul Greengrass, 2006)

911 event is the most important event after entering 21st century, everyone were saying this is the next subject Hollywood will target on just shortly after it. Just as expected, there are 2 movies about what happened right during the 911 out event 5 years later in the year 2006. One is directed by Oliver Stone, about 2 cops trapped in the wreckage of the collapsed “World Trade Center,” the other is this “United 93” directed by a British director Paul Greengrass.

Being the only flight that didn’t let the terrorists gain their purpose of crashing into the target, people admire the bravery of the passengers on the flight but hard to imagine what actually happened. And this film, which presents the details of what happened on United 93, satisfies the public which want to know more about these people.

The film begins with the terrorists who were praying in the hotel room, later on crossing going on between the terminal, the flight control center, the flight bureau and the flight, makes audience feel experiencing it. Besides those unknown but brilliant second-line actors, the specific screenplay Greengrass wrote after collecting the recording records and information is also the major reason makes this film outstanding.

Greengrass showed his skill of setting a real situation in “Blood Sunday,” which won the best picture at Berlin Film Festival, and still great in this film. Plus the precise editing, make this film has a documentary structure but also an action flick texture. During the splendid and compact course, humanity of facing danger or preparing to sacrifice oneself can also be deeply felt.

This film takes an objective angle that makes no comments at all, although we’ve already take the terrorists as villains and those who against them are heroes, but things could never be so simple. Greengrass wants it to be just all about United 93 as the title, without any moral judgment or consequence of the event, it ends just at the most thrilling second when the flight hit the ground.

Score: 10/10
