There's more controversy surrounding Zero Dark Thirty, the film about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. The film, which won one minor award at The Oscars on Sunday night, begins with t he voices of September 11th victims as they made their final phone calls. The only problem, the filmmakers apparently didn't ask their families if they could use those recordings in the film.
Mary Fetchet, whose son Brad worked on the 89th floor of the World Trade Centers South Tower, considers those taped words of her son a treasure, but was not amused when she learned that they were used in the film. Fetchet said, "My first thought was, "Isn't anything sacred anymore?"
The film's distributor, Sony, and studio, Annapurna Pictures, say the film is meant to be a "tribute"to the victims of 9/11 and that they 'initiated contact with a number of family memers of the 9/11 attacks" prior to the films release.
Some of the survivors of 9/11 victims hear in the film are asking for an apology and wanted the fimakers to donate to September 11th charities, but the filmmakers said they've already decided to donate some of the films profits to the national 9/11 Memorial Museum.
Are you serious?????? You should not have used the calls period. - Becky
