It really happened. On September 11, 2001. It is about the plane the terrorists were trying to steer into the White House, but the passengers overpowered them, and it flew into the ground in Pennyslvania instead. \n\nBecause many of the passengers were able to use their cell phones to make calls to both family and to authorities, plus what they could get from the conversations from the tapes in the cockpit, they were able to piece together a fairly close depiction of actual events. \n\nIt is supposed to be really good, leaving nothing to the imagination. I will not be seeing it, becuase as a Flight Attendant for United Airlines at that time and suffering from post-traumatic syndrome since then, I don't need any set backs. I am only now starting to peek out of my shell.

I have a feeling it's a pervasive story.\n\nI just saw "Onibaba"-- a Japanese film that retells an old Buddhist story along the same lines.

It is a movie based on the book The Davinci Code by author Dan Brown. It is a tale of murder and mystery surrounding the search for the Holy Grail, commonly thought of as the cup Jesus used in The Last Supper. If you don't want to know the plot, stop reading now.\n\nDan Brown introduces theories of Jesus having a bloodline AFTER him (not just before him through his mother)through Mary Magdeline. Dan Brown also hints at Mary Magdaline being one of his original 12 disciples-- the one Jesus refers to as "the Beloved Disciple" or the disciple that Jesus loved.\n\nDavinci and other artists of the time were thought to be in secret societies and used their art/paintings to hide clues to lead to the location of the "real" Holy Grail. There are depictions of religious ceremonies that have sex involved. It is an entertaining book--nothing more, and I am sure the movie will draw much controversy. My suggestion is that for the truth about Christ, read THIS bestseller:\n\n"The Bible"

"SEVEN SOULS\n\nThe ancient Egyptians postulated seven souls, Top soul, and the first to leave at the moment of death, is Ren, the Secret Name. This corresponds to my Director, He directs the film of your life from conception to death. The Secret Name is the title of your film. When you die, that's where Ren came in.\n\nSecond soul, and second one off the sinking ship, is Sekem: Energy, Power, Light The Director gives the orders, Sekem presses the right buttons.\n\nNumber three is Khu, the Guardian Angel. He, she, or it is third man out . . . depicted as flying away across a full moon, a bird with luminous wings and head of light. Sort of thing you might see on a screen in an Indian restaurant in Panama. The Khu is responsible for the subject and can be injured in his defense- but not permanently, since the first three souls are eternal. They go beck to Heaven for another vessel.\n\nThe four remaining souls must take their chances with the subject in the Land of the Dead. Number four is Ba, the heart, often treacherous. This is a hawk's body with your face on it, shrunk down to the size of a fist. Many a hero has been brought down, like Samson, by a perfidious Ba.\n\nNumber five is Ka, the Double, most closely associated with the subject. The Ka, which usually reaches adolescence at the time of bodily death, is the only reliable guide through the Land of the Dead to the western Lands.\n\nNumber six is Khaibit, the Shadow, Memory, your whole past conditioning from this and other lives.\n\nNumber seven is Sekhu, the Remains."\n\nfrom  William S Burroughs' "the seven souls"--it's about Egyptian Spirituality.

aahhh!  tim o'brien... sorry, i dont have the answer because i never saw the movie.  i did read the book though.  tim o'brien is actually a teacher at my school (texas state university) and the chair of the english department.  he actually came to my class (close friends with my english teacher) last semester and the 17 of us got to talk to him one on one.  it was so interesting to hear all of the things he had to say about life, war, love, things that are going on now...it was also very interesting to hear that most of that book is not reliable information on what really happened to him at war.

It appears as though it is a work of fiction, below are a couple links, one of them is supposed to be from the author of the book, which was made into the movie\n\nQ. Is Creasy based on a real character?\nA. Creasy was based on a mixture of characters that I knew in the sixties and seventies in Africa and Vietnam.\n\nQ. Some people have commented that the movie seemed to imply that it was based on a real event, is that impression correct?\nA. Yes, the story was based on an actual event in Italy in '75.
