In 9/11 movies, it's little moments that touch us ("Remember Me" Mentions)

In 9/11 movies, it's little moments that touch us ("Remember Me" Mentions)

*Spoiler alert: Plot twists for various movies ahead.*

In some ways, the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were just too earth shattering to take in. And in the ensuing movies about the attacks, it was often small scenes and lines that stood out, whether they aimed straight at viewers' hearts or provided a small moment of levity.

'Remember Me'
In what is essentially a romantic drama about an emotionally wounded young woman (Emilie de Ravin) and her equally damaged boyfriend (Robert Pattinson), the World Trade Center attacks are employed as a twist ending meant to wring tears. For audiences not paying attention to subtle calendar cues placed throughout the movie, one scene serves as the “Gotcha!” moment: Pattinson stares out the window of his father’s office while the camera slowly pulls back to reveal that he is standing inside the WTC and in the path of what will, in moments, be an oncoming plane.
