Response to Jackie's Post Re. "Remakes"

I just wanted to respond to Jackie's post and the conversation that we had last week in tutorial regarding "remakes". Although I do understand the point that Jackie is making, there are some reasons behind her argument that I disagree with. When September 11th happened, we were all in some way (either directly or indirectly) affected by the situation and the aftermath. Many people have spoke, written, drawn etc. about what happened. However, the feelings and opinions that people have towards the same event are extremely different. Following 9/11 some people felt so strongly that the Americans had been victims of a terroist attack that they became scared and in many cases even prejudiced against and violent towards those of the same ethnicity as the terrorists. On the other hand, some people felt completely differently about what happened, for example there is a group of people who have made a "documentary" about 9/11 exposing the attack as a tragic "hoax" put on by the American government in order to gain support (http://www.loosechange911.com/ for anyone who is interested. These are obviously two extreme positions on what really occurred, but the point is that are remarkably different. If there is no "truth" as to what really happened at the time, then like you said there will obviously be many different interpretations later. I don't feel like there is a problem with people later "re-writting" the events because there is no one true version even at the time that it happens. There will always be many different stories, opinions and feelings so nobody can really "get it wrong" present or future.
