Question Movies About Disastrous Events

I was really hoping they wouldn't make any movies about 9/11. It was a horrible day for all of us, and we were inundated with updates and personal stories non-stop for months. They've already made two films and are planning a mini-series.

Some are saying these 9/11 films are politically motivated to keep us in "war mode." I tend to agree.

Why didn't anyone make a movie about the Oklahoma City Bombing?

I suspect it was for the same reason I didn't want to see a movie about what happened that day. It was a tragic personal loss for many of us. It wouldn't be entertaining to watch a re-enactment. It would be disrespectful, and downright traumatic to anyone who lost a loved one on that day. On a personal level, I certainly wouldn't want to see an actor portraying my father's death on screen for all to watch and me to live through again.

I think it's disgusting that they are making 9/11 into a mini-series!

What do you think the motive is for these 9/11 films? Why do you think no one made a movie about the Oklahoma City bombing?
