Man, when did Americans become such whiny babies who need everything monitored and carefully labelled for them? Whatever happened to being open to a good drama, and judging a movie on whether or not it had a decent story, whatever the morality of the characters, or in this case, showing a character violating his own private morality to help another character live by theirs?
All the people bitching about this, I guess they never see movies with bad guys, have never enjoyed a movie in which any character gets killed, don't see Hitchcock or Peckinpah or Kubrick or Spielberg or Mel Gibson-directed movies in which characters KILL other characters--because those movies are "about" the main character killing someone. And they'd never see a suspense film because they haven't been warned ahead of time what it's REALLY about.
Anyone looking at the advertising for Million Dollar Baby who thinks it's not a serious, dark drama but a feel-good happy Rocky picture (from the director of the famous, dark Mystic River and Unforgiven) should stick to watching Waltons reruns.
Yeah, Dark. What you said :)
Three cheers to your post 109, darkwolf.
You get it, man.
Kind of a scary Stalinisation of the nation's culture - which both right and left culture nanny state tyrants are now practicing.
We're not talking about movies where the main character kills someone or where bad guys get killed. We're talking about assisted suicide. Assisted suicide is a hot button issue with many people (although not with me).
