Excellent, Moving, Powerful
I was fortunate enough to see this movie when it was released in April at Lincoln Center in NYC and a second time in a smaller theather in Westchester, and was even more priveledged to have Jim Simpson, Anne Nelson & Sigourney Weaver at the screening to answer questions. That night after I saw it, I immediately e-mailed everyone I knew and told them they "MUST SEE" this film!!!
This is an extremely moving story, articulating the thoughts and emotions of most New Yorkers who endured the tragedy in our own city. Beautifully written, acted and directed. People out of the NY area might not appreciate it as much as the rest of us, but nonetheless, extremely powerful and touching.
P.S. - There are no scenes of the towers for those who are hesitant to see it.
Great 9/11 commemoration
"The Guys" wonderfully desplicts the families' losses from 9/11. The screenplay writers display the aftermath of this terrible tragedy, leaving little to the imagination. Anthony LaPaglia and Sigourney Weaver wonderfully perform their roles as a NY fireman and a newspaper reporter. The cast and crew appeared to have researched the event through more than just news coverage. This is what made "The Guys" more than just a movie. It's a commemoration of the lives that were lost and the friends/families left behind.
don't kiss my a$$ then
We never asked for the attention that we have received from everybody. I guess just some people have come to realize how challenging our job really is. But we do not expect a pat on the back for it, Because we do realize that is our job. Just remember that one day you might need one of us to come in and save your a$$, then one day you might appreciate what we do. but know worry I will not expect you to kiss my a$$ at all, because I can speak for all fireman, police, & E.M.S we are not that type of people we are just "doing our job".
