Great. A movie that glorifies the serial killer Aileen Wuornos and her lesbian lover.
glorifies?
Yes. LOOK at the damn video. It starts by making you feel sorry for her because she's an ugly outcast.
Whether you feel sorry for someone or not it hardly glorifies a killing spree
Anything that makes you "feel" for a serial killer is glorification. How many freaky little teen girls are going to identify with this image they've painted of her?
You are judging the movie based on a 2 minute preview....which are created for the purpose of making people want to see the movie.
I cannot say how I will feel about the character after seeing the entire thing.
Given the amount of oscar buzz Theron is receiving it seems to be an impressive character study
It IS rated R so anyone over 17 should be mature enough to know it is wrong to kill people. Those under 17 are with an adult. Not my type of movie but good for those who like the characther studies.
Riiiight. And we all know teens NEVER watch R movies.
Character study or not, it sympthizes with Wuornos and her lover.
Yah so that's the movie's fault?
Um, yes. Putting out media that sympathizes with a serial killer is repugnant.
Well should the movie be banned from theaters in your opinion? It was rated R, what else should be done? I think you may be jumping to conclusions because you haven't seen the movie. My advice to you if you are so offended is, don't go see it. Plus it's a limited release. You may think it is repugnant, I wouldn't say I think it is repugnant but I'm not going to see it. I will some how be able to deal with the fact that it is in theaters, however. If, however, the movie does inspire anyone to become either a lesbian or kill people I will admit that I am wrong.
If you think I think it should be banned, you don't know me at all. And the movie rating system is a joke. The "R" is simply a sign that attracts teens, not stops them.
No, I do not think it should be banned, but it should be boycotted and viewed for what it is: The glorification of a serial killer.
I'm a libertarian minded conservative. I believe in freedom with morality enforced by public pressure, not laws.
It's not a question of offense. It's a question of common decency.
