The film we watched in class (United 93) was about the 9/11 bombings in America. The film attempts to recount with as much veracity as possible and in real time (from the flight's takeoff), what has come to be known in the United States as an iconic moment of heroism. The fact that this was a real life situation makes the whole film even more suspenseful. The film builds/creates suspense in many different ways. For example the sound track creates the feeling of nervousness, which makes the audience feel tension rising in the film and making them feel like something bad is going to happen. Also the terrorist body and facial expressions builds suspense. For example when the terrorist are waiting to hijack the plane, they signaled each other several times, which made us feel that they are going to do it now, but it turned out they didn't. This caused us to thing when is it going to happen, which builds up suspense even more. Also the actions of the people in the office builds up tension. The fact that everyone in the office is confused of what is going on creates a lot of tension in the atmosphere. There is cross-cuts throughout the whole film between the people in the office and the people boarding the plane. This suggests that they are connected, which gives a clue to the audience that something is going happen to that particular plane.
