Movie That Changed My Views

Many things have an impact on our lives or help how we view the world around us. After 9/11 a movie was released called Flight 93. At first I didn't want to go to it because I thought it was just going to be a boring movie with everyone crying around me. I felt terrible about 9/11, but it was so far away from me and by the time the movie had come out it was in the back of my head. But I went anyways. After the movie I had such a remotely greater respect for everyone involved. From all the victims in the planes, and tradecenters, to their families, to all the heros trying to save them. It really made me appreciate my freedom here in America, the freedom I take for granted everyday. I had a more patriotic feeling toward my country after, similar to the feeling America shared right around the time of the terrible events. Not only did it change me in that sense, but it made me apprectiate my family even more. Everyday, well not everyday anymore since I'm in college, when I would see them I took their presence in my life and love for me for granted. We would always get in stupid little fights that now I see really don't matter. Never did matter, never will matter. The big picture is that day so many people lost loved ones who meant the most to them in this world, but mine are still here. I definately don't, or try not to take that for granted anymore.
