Most powerful part of F 9/11: the bookend scenes of the grieving women.
Advertisements [?]
Iraq is the subject of the second half of the film, and near the beginning of it we see an Iraqi woman grieving and angered after a bomb has killed some family members. For me, this was the most moving scene of the film. Near the end of the film, we see an American woman grieving the loss of her son. The positioning of these two scenes really give the film structure. We first see what war does to the conquered; we finish by seeing that it has done much the same thing to those who were sent to conquer.
