Horrormeister Stephen King in an Entertainment Weekly column:
"When I hear critics warning audiences that "United 93" might upset them -- in the same year that the bloody "Hostel" topped the box office -- I can only shake my head in amazement."
King adds: "We're hypocritical from belly to spine when it comes to film violence, you know?"

The horro in "Flight 93" comes from a real event, and has some documentation. As far as I know, the horror in King's work comes strictly from his fertile brain, and the lucid reader knows it's not real.
There's a big difference, Mr. King.

King acknowledges that, Bubba, but he still takes Hollywood to task for underestimating the American public's ability to handle the grim reality of "United 93."
He also criticizes movie critics for reviews that, in his words, "infantalize the American public."
"... I think most of us over 18 (and many under it) are capable of watching how the 40 doomed souls of Flight 93 behaved in their final hour. Especially since many seem to have acquitted themselves with the sort of guts and backs-to-the-wall ingenuity that Americans celebrate each July."

Film and TV have evolved into our current forms of historical debate and reconstruction, for better or worse. There's no going back to "waiting until the dust settles" around powerful, contentious or even emotionally sensitive issues and events.
I suspect the Greeks and Shakespeare did something similar through their plays.
