"Get over it."
You don't get over the loss of a child.
I'm amazed I even have to say that.
First, even as I, a childless man, I understand that the loss of a child is beyond devastation for words
Second, I think questioning the wisdom of a "train race" scene has some merit.
But the poor man after 12 years is still apparently consumed with grief.
No, but you can stop making a public spectacle of yourself. Your "defense" would also apply to Cindy Sheehan.
I'm amazed I even have to say that.
And I'm amazed that a FReeper would buy into this "Woe is me" bilge. This isn't about anyone's child; it's an attention whore trying to parley a tragedy into permanent importance.
Over a cartoon movie, no less ...

My father died from falling and hitting his head. Therefore, I want all scenes in movies of people falling and hitting their head removed.
No, the reality is, I still occasionaly get a wince or two from some thing that remind me of my father's accident, but I have, over time, gotten over it, and moved on with my life. That doesnt mean I love my father any less, or mourn him any less, and yes, I will never truly get it out of my head and heart (as it should be), but I "got over it". It's part of the mourning process. I've gradually been able to come to grips with and deal with all of the aspects of losing him, and been able to grow and move past it in a healthy way.
I feel for the man, and his loss, but he needs to move on. Perhaps there's a nicer, more pleasant and compassionate way to say it, but he does need to get over it, if he's seeking to censor anything that reminds him of his loss. Bluntly put, it's selfish of him to deprive others of anything, when he's unable to move on. If this were indulged on a wide scale, there would be no movies, no books, no songs, no nothing.
I understand the grieving process, and it's heartbreaking, but I know from eduring it, that he's not dealing with it in a healthy way. He needs help, and removing that scene isn't what he needs.
