A front-page story on the controversial new movie "United 93" includes a comment by Jerry Herron, professor of American studies. He said the movie is close enough in time to the actual event "to retain its historical power but not far enough away that people will have forgotten the details." He also pointed out that movies have always helped to shape American's views of the world and enabled them to come to grips with significant events. "Maybe more than any other people, we've used movies to try and define our historical consciousness of what's going on and what it means," Herron pointed out.
