EPIGRAPH: The planes move in, the towers collapse, and people react with heartfelt shock and horror. You cry because you're sad and frightened. And then, before you know it, the images are repeated in slow motion with the Samuel Barber soundtrck and a close-up photograph of a sinegd teddy bear. Then you cry because somebody is making you and you wind up feeling confused and manipulated, like your own feelings weren't quite good enough and you needed professional help.
