10 years pasted from that terrible date 9/11. Many people still can’t live after that day. Awful terrorist attack ruined lives of many people and even today keeps in fear other citizens. This even couldn’t pass unnoticed so it found its reflection in movies, books and news.
If we follow the line of consequences we can notice: first there was denial. Movies didn’t show twin towers and they even were digitally removed from films. News channels didn’t show the most troubling images.
Then came anger. A lot of frighten details appeared as well as heroic stories.
For every person 9/11 performed different meaning. It found reflection in films, music, books and so on. Today we can measure time like before and after this even (the same situation as with fall of Berlin Wall and Hiroshima bombing).
“As Slate's Dana Stevens noted in her review of last summer's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," it's even become a special effect. Chicago skyscrapers are destroyed in a way that evokes the collapse of the twin towers, complete with pieces of paper flying out the windows like dust.”
