No I have nothing but for contempt for anyone that is a thought policemen. Your thoughts are toward the book burning and censorship side.

"You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police. Yet in their hearts there is unspoken - unspeakable! - fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse - a little tiny mouse! - of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic."

Winston Churchill

A swing and a miss.

oh please...nobody said that this movie should be banned but in a FREE SOCIETY you can call out well made but idiotic art for what it is, pretty and well made yet IDIOTIC and SIMPLE MINDED.

That's all, nobody is calling for a book burning so stop making s*it up.
