I probably would not have seen the movie, but based on the threats I also would not have gone to see ANY movie that was being shown in a theater that was also playing the Interview. The risk was just too great to take a chance. I also think Sony and even more so our government was derelict to even make the movie, the ending they said involved the leader or South Korea getting his head blown off. While I am no fan of South Korea I think the movie was in poor taste and if the situation was reversed and it was Obama getting blown up, most of us in the US, even non Obama supporters, would be outraged. The state department was fully aware of the ending and gave Sony the OK, which once again makes me wonder about the leadership of our country, but I guess that is a whole other topic. |
North. It's NORTH Korea.
First off. It's a comedy. Not to be taken seriously. Second, it's freedom of speech and art. Our govt cannot tell us what we can and cannot make art about. That is what is so great about this country. It is not the govt's fault this happened. It's not Sony's fault either. The difference is if there was a comedy made about Obama's head getting blown off, most Americans, Obama supporters or not, would know it's a comedy and not threaten people with death if it were shown.
