_In a
talk at the Tribeca Film Festival (which is in full swing), Actress
Maggie Gyllenhaal, star of a new flick
about the aftermath of 9/11, said that the U.S. "is responsible
in some way" for the devastating terror attacks. She is getting a
beating from the local press (Daily News, Post) for saying it. Slow
news weekend, I guess.

Her new movie "The Great New Wonderful" has a plot centered on
the destruction of the World Trade Center – premiered Friday.

"I think what’s good about the movie is that it deals with 9/11 in such
a subtle, open way that I think it allows it to be more complicated
than just, ‘Oh, look at these poor New Yorkers and how hard it was for
them,’" Gyllenhaal told the NY1 cable channel.
