This has won a Royal Television Society Award: www.rts.org.uk/Information_page_+_3_pic_det.asp?id=5726Arts 9/11: Out Of The Blue Silver River Productions for five "An outstanding film in which the combination of poetry and real interviews for the subject matter was strikingly original. It was judged to be a beautifully conceived and executed programme and Rufus Sewell’s performance of the poem was terrific." But we all knew that already, didn't we? |

Well, no, I didnt know that - good find! It was a very powerful performance and kudos to Rufus for making excellent sense of a poem that made little sense on paper.

One would think. Perhaps people haven't noticed it down there. I've voted and you've voted. So at minimum that means 3 others could get it a rating...

i am a late comer to this thread, and then it makes no sense, since this is where i truly discovered the genius of mr. s.
ok so... it was a dark and rainy afternoon LOL... i was off work, feeling sick. i scoured the internet for something good to watch... ended up on youtube. dont know how i fell on this.
god bless the person who uploaded it there...
i got shattered. splintered. burnt. i cried so hard. sooo hard.
when bf danny came home, he was quite distressed at the state i was in... puffed face, red eyes... i had him sit in front of my shamelessly bad pc screen, and i showed him why i had been crying.
and then we cried together.
see... danny is from ny. his cousin, his childhood friend, really, disappeared up there, on 9/11. he was a janitor.
all lost... all lost in the dust...
after a while, danny asked who the hell this actor bloke was.
i surprised him a lot when i told him he was in fact dr. jacob hood, at whom he had been tempted to throw his shoe for the last few weeks... see, danny is a geophysicist, and to say that he took offence at the EH screenplays is an understatement.
now he listens to EH with me religiously, revering dr. hood, and just wondering, like the rest of us rufians, why cbs made no effort into making the series worty of god sewell.
and of course we ordered a ton of movies in the last few weeks.

I was able to catch this on you tube. Rufus did an excellent job with it. 911 is probably a day I will never forget although I did not personally lose anyone that day but knew of people who lost loved ones. I worked in NYC and was literally stuck on a bus diagonally across the Hudson River in NJ trying to travel to NYC for work that day watching the events unfold.
Rufus's performance brought back the emotions of that day to me but not in a bad way. It was a very powerful piece.

I've watched this once but can't bring myself to view it anytime soon. I saw it happen live and those images are just to raw, even now. I have very vivid memories of that day and for weeks and, months afterward. I remember walking down to the financial district in early December and the smells were still there; I spotted an acquaintances picture on the gates of St. Paul's Church; I remember the awful tourists taking pictures of themselves in front of the pit, and of them smiling; I remember the hawkers selling cheap chinese made memorabilia. It is ingrained in my memory and will be there always.

I watched 'Out of the Blue' last night...superb work by Rufus. How does this man do it? He captivated me for the whole film...the anxiety and torture in his face and voice when the worst of it was described....it made me feel as if I were there. The footage made me cry for those poor people that had to suffer in such a way. I did not know how many British people were in the towers that day, it is not something I remember hearing about at the time.
I have my own views as to what really went on that day...suffice to say, I have my own suspicions but that is another matter.
Sublime work Rufus, yet another deeply affecting performance.
