Whenever there is a movie with subject matter that I am disinterested in or makes me mad, I don't see it.
Interestingly, many here argued that seeing Fahrenheit 911 was incredibly important. Many here would argue that seeing An Inconvenient Truth is vital, or that Bowling for Columbine was imbedded sloely in the truth. So much in any movie like this takes the bits and pieces of info it wishes to - often based on fact, sometimes not, sometimes taken ridiculously out of context - and spin them into a viewpoint that simply cannot be ignored.
My goal is not to debate any other movie (or even this movie) and facts or lack thereof in them. Simply to point out that this happens all the time, and it isn't limited to movies, but is often blatantly in the group that calls themselves the news media.. I feel your pain, Gn2Dlnd, because many others have angered me in a similar fashion.
Ironically, while I support any and all letter campaigns as the right of the consumer, efforts such as this are oft described as an attempt at censorship. I disagree with that sentiment.
Revisionist history is in the eye of the beholder.
