@Ponyboy: NOBODY is suggesting that America is "picking on" Kim Jong Un or that the North Korean government should be off the hook for the terrible things they've done to their people. You can't even begin to compare NK with the states. NK is fucked up. I get it.
My point is simply that Hollywood produces more propaganda films than anyone else.
The reason I bring it up, is that I hear people claiming that their rights are being taken away by not being able to see this movie. People are suggesting that Americans should support this movie to show their patriotism. You don't think that's fucked up? Again, I'm not saying that it's more fucked up than anything NK is doing. Just saying it's fucked up from American standards.
We don't need to compare the US and NK. They're not even remotely similar. And, nothing America does would justify what North Korea is doing.
Still, just because America is better than North Korea doesn't mean we should let America get a pass on it's propaganda. If your country only needs to be better than North Korea, well, that's a low bar to set. If your excuse for putting up with these shit films is "but North Korea is worse!" you should check yourself.
