* HonorThyParent: When [=McLoughlin's=] wife Donna is informed that he is trapped somewhere within the site of WTC terrorist attacks, she is about to leave for somewhere closer to the scene. Donna tells her roughly 12-year-old son to stay put. He reacts with a resolute "No!" and demands to go with her. Donna is taken aback by his defiance, and attempts to make her son comply; however, he won't back down and angrily protests. Finally, Donna reluctantly agrees to take him with her, but you can see that she is still angry at having been so blatantly contradicted by her son. This example shows how shocking an instance of outright defiance by a child can still seem even today to a 21st-century parent (and in this case, the son is just acting under duress due to his father being missing in action.)

* SpiritualAntithesis: To ''Film/{{JFK}}''. Both are Creator/OliverStone films about real-life tragedies that have since become fodder for conspiracy theories, and as a result, many critics feared that this film would become a platform for Stone to promote crackpot ideas about who was ''really'' behind 9/11. Instead of a ConspiracyThriller, however, ''World Trade Center'' was a BasedOnATrueStory DisasterMovie that stuck to the facts of what had happened that day.
