Yes.... It is interesting to see how people react to and (re)present these events, and how people react to that, and why they do so, etc, etc. You can learn a lot about people from watchig how they react to propaganda.
One of the folklorists here at A&M studies the development of spontaneous shrines, and I think she did some work on the ones that develloped in New York right after the attacks. I always thought that was interesting
One or two movies are not the be all and end all of people's exposure or experience of an event like 911. I suspect that the movie is going to freshen the memories of how they dealt witrh that for a lot of people. It was only five years ago.
