I was interested, since I was on that flight.
I didn't see ANY resemblance between me and the actor who portrayed me.
I was aware of the differences, in fact, between what was presented, and the actual events of the day.
What I learned = how my memory has observed actual experiences, how it has observed " distorted facts", what I learned from media, how pain medicine acts on a victim, how the media exploits victims, with little or no regard for their immediate needs, in the aftermath of a disaster, ... I had MULTIPLE reporters who lied to the hospital switchboard operator, claiming to be my Mother, in order to talk to me, how they crowded into my small hospital room in order to stick microphones in my face, as soon as I regained consciousness, how they published a picture claiming that a woman who was standing beside my bed was my wife (which she was not), ... I have learned to despise those low life animals!!!!
I don't think the movie caught any of those events.
So, to me, I thought the movie was exploitative, and don't recommend it to my friends. There is plenty of live video available. Also, I have been interviewed often, in that era, and say what I had to say, for anyone interested.
