Howard had some advice for those who objected to the story. "There's no question that the film is likely to be upsetting to some people. My advice is ... to not go and see the movie if you think you're going to be upset."

Mmmmm........thanks Ron...........certainly some food for deep thought there. Very profound.

Matter of fact, I find more than 90% of what Hollywood churns out to be objectionable. I guess that's why I don't go see it. Once again, great insight Ron.

Over and above this question, however, is the issue of whom we may slander and defame with untruths. I don't foresee Ron making any movies which show say...Martin Luther King...in an unfavorable light. Critics would hardly be placated by saying "well if you think you'll be offended, don't go see it."

Some things really are off limits but for different reasons. Some,like the above mentioned, are just too politcally incorrect. Others, like Islam, carry with them a threat to life and limb, so that's probably another area which fearless film makers like Ron will likely avoid.

"There's no question that the film is likely to be upsetting to some people. My advice is ... to not go and see the movie if you think you're going to be upset."

If it's anything like the book it will be upsetting to those people who enjoy a good story, with interesting characters, speaking believable dialogue and involved in suspenseful situations. It's a thriller without thrills.
