Symbolism Within Flight 93

The effect of this movie can not help but to be felt by every American. Sitting back and watching a movie that portrays such a tragic event in U.S. history cant help but bring sadness to Americans. However, while watching this movie I noticed one thing that the producer used within the film, and this is symbolism. It can be seen in the passengers aboard Flight 93.

When viewing the reactions that the passengers aboard Flight 93 had you can't but see that they symbolize America and how it acts to terrorist. When those people lives were in danger and threatened they stood up for themselves and did everything they could to try and stop the inevitable. When it seemed as there was no hope they fought back against the enemy and tried to obtain an outcome that would allow them to save their lives and not die that day. When America is pushed they always push back and in the actions that those passengers took that day they symbolize how America truly is.

I also believe that the producer tried to symbolize the whole Islamic religion as a corrupt religion in how he portrays the reactions of the terrorist upon the plan. When the terrorist took over the cock pit and it came across the scanner that 2 planes had hit the trade centers, the pilot said our brothers have completed their mission now its our turn. This statement shows heartlessness in the sense that why would someone be happy with the killing of many and what religion would condone such a tragic act. Also, when the co-pilot ran and told the other two about the planes, they were all giving praise to God and rejoicing. How could a God be happy with a massive killing of individuals? The last thing that stuck put to me was when the co-pilot asked if they were going to make it to the capitol and the pilot said " God willing we will make it." Does the Islamic God hope people with killing innocent civilians? In these ways I believe that the author portrays Islamic religion as a corrupt religion.

This movie caused Americans to relive that horrific day and the feelings attached to it. It also implied many cases of underlined symbolism to represent bigger things such as the Islamic religion or America in general. After watching this movie do you see any other symbolism portrayed within it? If so what is it?
