Would you watch a movie about the 9/11 attacks told from the perspective of the terrorists?

Absolutely NOT!!!!

And no, not for the reasons that people are thinking (that they were the bad guys).

In my opinion, it's impossible to know what people who've committed such atrocities were "really thinking" unless one of them survived and can tell you. Anything else is just projection and speculation. This issue is why I stopped liking "I Shot Andy Warhol." When I first saw that movie, I thought it was brilliant "insight" into Valerie Solanas' mind. Then I did research, and it turned out that there was virtually nothing known about this woman at all. Because no one knew anything about her, the screenwriters made everything up.

That is exactly what would happen in this case. How on earth would a Westerner be able to really know what those guys were really thinking? It would be just speculation and projection.

Another reason why I wouldn't watch a movie like that is that if someone wants to do a movie from a criminal's perspective, it's because they sympathize with their motives or have an interest in humanizing them. People who commit atrocities should be understood but not humanized.

Yes, even if it isn’t entirely accurate as to the individual terrorists. I would like a window in on that world to better understand the indoctrination of terrorists. This kind of mind control can happen anywhere and crops up time and time again. It is important to recognize this behavior and to look for ways to prevent alienation, hostility, and other descents into anti-social, violence.

There is a fascinating series on HBO running now called Our Boys. It recounts the true story of four murders in Jerusalem, and subsequent investigations that led uprisings and a full blown war in Gaza in 2014. The miniseries goes inside deeply divided Israeli and Palestinian sub communities and gives insight into the roots of the hostilities and religious justifications for violence.

probably. i'm more interested in reading about such things than watching movies, but i'm not opposed to the idea.
the great french film 'nocturama' is a drama about a group of young terrorists who stage attacks in paris. it's one of my favourite films of the past 3 or 4 years.

it's not a 'boat,' but i think it's interesting & instructive to watch such things, and i'm open to seeing a good 'boat' terrorist film.

Probably not basically because there is more than a likely chance they will try and paint the terrorists up as victims of some sort and how the racist, Islamophobic etc etc West drove them to it.

Probably if a somewhat big name director like Greengrass, Mann, or Bigelow made it. Even I’d probably still watch it regardless.

I seen one a few years ago about the Hamburg cell leading all the way up to September 11th. I can't remember what it was called. They weren't portrayed sympathetically or anything especially that nutter Mohammed Atta.

Do they give the names of the Saudi royals who helped them when they stayed in America? THEN I would read it...

Never!
