I'm just finished watching The Guys. It is the story of a fire captain who works with a writer to prepare the eulogies he must deliver in the days after September 11th.

The film is touching without being maudlin. As the years have passed, we have forgotten what it was like in the days immediately following the attacks, and this film captures those feelings perfectly. Anthony LaPaglia is just amazing as the fire captain. He doesn't need to say a word, but his eyes project how overwhelmed he is by pain, loss and confusion.

I have seen this film several times, but I am immediately drawn to its story of two people from completely different worlds who are brought together in the love for the city of NY and their need to do something to lessen the pain of others.
