Interesting. I've seen it, and what I think makes the movie so good is that it does no politicizing whatsoever. It doesn't portray the Islamic terrorists as madmen, it doesn't portray the people on the flight as overly heroic....it is simply a film about what happened with no slant at all.
If simply telling the story in an extremely well done movie is rah-rah patriotism, then I guess we have a differing opinion on what rah-rah patriotism is.
As far as why people aren't seeing it....it hurts. It's emotional. It isn't for everyone. I never saw The Passion of the Christ. I am well aware of what happened in that story, and I don't object to the material. I just really didn't want to see it.
