Why not give the proceeds to the families of 9-11? Pay for their medical bills, scholarship funds for the childern who lost a parent. Wow a whole 10% to a memorial! I think I'll wait and watch this at home when its only a dollar rental.

While I understand your concern for someone profiting from a horrific tragedy, I must disagree. How many film makers made money from Pearl Harbor, D-day, Vietnam, the Holocaust etc....?? The average 9-11 victim's family already receives over $1 million....some get much more!!! Have you ever compared that to the proceeds given to a fallen soldier's family??? It's a bloomin joke. I'm not suggesting that it was not the altruistic thing to do by giving monetarily to those victims, but there are many other innocent victims whose families never benefited from a special trust fund....much less were entitled to some type of royalty from the making of a movie.
Bottom line: The public seems to rapidly be forgetting what happend on that terrible day. If this movie helps America's short memories, as well as gives a portion of the proceeds to a worthy cause, then I believe it's a good thing.
Good day.
