Ladder 49 is out

[Chimpie]

I don't want to say too much about it cause I don't want to ruin it, but I will say that in all aspects it was very realistic.

Tonight - parents coming for dinner
Tomorrow night - start teaching ARC Emergency Response course

I saw Ladder 49 opening night, with my husband and a few members of our volunteer fire department. Needless to say, with exception of a few minor things easily overlooked.....and you watch this not as a "technical advisor".....you will be moved, trust me. I walked out of there feeling proud of what ALL of us do every day...paid or volunteer...careerists or part-timers...we're part of a larger whole that makes up a group of people that "bust ours......to save theirs"


Have a great weekend everyone, I hope all of you are well. I remember you all in my prayers. Stay safe!

I think by Monday it's open game to discuss the movie. The rest of the group has had time to see it. LOL

 

[MMiz]

Well, what's the verdict?

 

[rescuecpt]

Better than Backdraft. Unfortunately, I saw it after working a 90 hour work week so I was exhausted (and extra emotional) so all it did was make me think about my friends who died and the World Trade Center. Needless to say, I was useless after the movie. But, I will definitely be first in line to get it on DVD.

I saw it. And MAN, was it amazing. My friends who are firefighters will attest that it is truly an amazing movie. I agree it is better than Backdraft. Much better. It is a very emotional movie. The comedy is very well timed. This is an awesome movie. A must see! I'm going to see it over again and again.

 

[PArescueEMT]

all of the "free lancing" from my experience is true to life. I enjoyed it a great deal with the exception of what the ending caused me to do... <_<

 

[DonQ]

...and what was that PArescueEMT?

 

[Chimpie]

I thought the movie was good and was very sadden by the ending. As we were walking out of the movie theater my g/f just looked at me, not knowing what to say. Thoughts of 9/11 just came pouring back. <_<

Hey, I'll admit it, I cried through most of it. It was easy to see through the plot, and the whole time I kept thinking of my friends who went in but didn't come out on 9/11. And I don't cry at movies.
