Oscar winner says 9-11 attacks made up.
Ever heard of Marion Cotillard? Maye you have, and maybe you haven’t. She recently won an Oscar for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in the film La Vie En Rose. Didn’t see the flick? Neither did we, but it’s a typical case of critics heaping praise on something the rest of us ignore. You will be seeing Ms Cotillard in the future though, she’s slated to star opposite Johnny Depp in the upcoming big budget movie Public Enemy.
Chances are Public Enemy will be a pretty good gangster flick, so when you’re watching the female lead on the screen, try to put it out of your mind that she believes the World Trade Center attacks were a hoax. The real reason the Twin Towers went down, according to her, was that the buildings needed a remodel. Yep, you read that right, she claims the buildings were outdated and needed an upgrade. Here’s a quote…
“It was a money-sucker because they were finished, it seems to me, by 1973, and to re-cable all that, to bring up-to-date all the technology and everything, it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them.”
Her conclusion is that 9-11 is just another example of the US concocting horror stories for political ends. How politics and building remodels go hand in hand, we’re not really sure, but that’s her idea. She also believes no one ever landed on the moon. No joke, honest, that’s what she said. Although she wasn’t alive at the time, she has seen the documentaries, and views them as more Hollywood magic.
Now before you start shouting things like “Moron!”, “Idiot!”, and “Whacko!”, Cotillard may not be any of those things. She is, however, an actress, and actors live in make-believe worlds. She was also, by coincidence, born and raised in France, and that explains a lot.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackCotillard was not exactly correct. WTC 1 and 2 had significant corrosion issues resulting from galvanic reactions between the outer steel support members and the aluminum cladding. This issue necessitated either demolition or major multi-billion dollar rebuilds. Seems the owners opted for the former.
Cotillard has likely researched the facts about the attacks more than the average person. Most people in that category will say that the attacks were an inside job.
Anyone who believes the government’s “Incompetence Theories” is a complete moron. So called ‘news’ outlets which dont questions it are, frankley, traitors. We need more Marions.. and less YOU.
Wow I guess I was the first normal person to read your posting. Sorry.
This interview was done one year ago. In addition, Marion Cotillard said, “I’m not believing all they tell me, that’s for sure,” and “I think we’ve been lied to on some things.” In this regard, she’s right in the middle of the 2008 US election, in which people are early voting in huge numbers (and not Republican) because they 1) don’t believe anything the Bush administration and other politicians tell them, and 2) we feel we’ve been lied to about some important matters. Here is a woman who is getting Swiftboated for something she may or may not have said a year ago, and which is true from my perspective as an American citizen. So go, Marion — you seem to have more courage to speak out than 95% of the Republicans, and half the US media. For an artist who won the British, French, Czech, and American Academy Awards, and has given hundreds of interviews in the States in which she said nothing about politics, she doesn’t look like someone who can be frightened into shutting up. opinion? Stating opinions is what free people do.
Benny Kaye Says: Wow I guess I was the first normal person to read your posting.
well Benny you “normal” people are becoming fewer and fewer.
Why you ask? You may watch too much news on tv. You are told what to think just like the author of this piece. He can only poke fun at us “not normal” people.
Condemnation without investigation is the highest form of Ignorance.
Benny, you may be a good guy. Google 911 truth and begin thinking for yourself.
It won’t take that long to become “not normal” like us.
wow censorship ? It seems that you like debate as much as Ahmadinejad
Kit van Cleave says: “you seem to have more courage to speak out…”
Response: There is nothing courageous to believe what many Islamic extremists believe which is 9/11 was an inside job. What IS courageous is to remember the memory of 9/11 after 95% of the world and liberal Democrats have “moved on.” Your comment is laughable and stupid which is painfully obvious after reading your post.
ric says: “Google 911 truth and begin thinking for yourself.”
Response: Ditto.
Response to Pete Lear: So 9/11 was an inside job to demolish a building because they needed new LAN lines? Okay. Sure. Do you have any knowledge of structural engineering? Didn’t think so. To prep two buildings to be demolished requires months of planning and executing. Of course none of those people who were involved in the inside job can be found–how convenient. I guess they are really good at keeping secrets. Shhhhh….. Also none of the thousands of people in the WTC building ever got a whiff of the demolition preparation happening just under their noses. Got it. Right. Wow, with intelligence like this, we might be able to cure cancer in 10,000 years. (Or is cancer a U.S. military weapon again middle class Americans…hmmm…)

Joam H — It doesn’t take courage to “believe” anything. Courage has to do with actions. You clearly didn’t read my post, but you’re eager to call names. What you’re saying has nothing to do with Marion Cotillard, which is what the above slander and mistranslation was all about.
I’m happy that this remarkable artist is doing so well despite the attempt by the rightwing in America to harm her reputation. It’s all a dead issue today. She simply didn’t say what was reported as her remarks.
