Moonstruck, featuring the Twin Towers

I had the happy occasion to visit family this weekend, and last night we watched Moonstruck. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Each scene is a classic. Each joke perfection. The love is heartfelt.


One thing that made me catch my breath was how often the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were shown. In all our innocence. So sad to see the towers in the context of a great 1987 movie. Will the perpetrators of 9/11 ever understand what they did to us? How we will never forget? How the blood and ashes of our fallen cry out from the very dust? If they ask, tell them sorry. I will not forget any time soon, if ever.
