What do you mean by that?This seems like someone trying to capitalize on tragedy, by making it entertainment.....not below Mr. Stone.

I meant that we have to face this tragedy, even so fresh to our memory.
You have a very over inflated view of film.
And you and under inflated...Each his own.
You are not facing Tragedy by going to a movie.You may understand it better but that's something entirely different. Take all the countless war flicks that showed the D-Day landing and it trivialized and glorified it in typical film fashion -- until Spielberg decided to do it right for the first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan -- That is more like what really happened. It still isn't facing anything but it did illustrate that there was nothing John Wayne casual about it which most films portrayed.
Yet Spielberg did a true realistic job with the first minutes of the landing in Normandie, even if the original ( Capa, Capra... ) would suffice to me, to see & fell all the horrors the guys had to go through.
Well Hollywood was never famous for true depiction at that time, even if in the early 60īs some attempts have been made like " Pork Chop Hill " and of course, other one, much older.
It is not bad for us, to get from time to time a little " shake-up "....
... films concerning any war?
John Wayne seems to have been in films depicting much misery for Native Americans and the Germans and Japanese but there wasn't much complaint about it.
If you can't make a film about some certain event, the next thing is.. well, no jokes about it, or no discussion of it or... what?
I didn't say anything about restricting anyone from filming whatever they want. But for me personally, this one hits too close to home for me to watch (fwiw, I knew people who died that day). Oliver Stone's movie depicts some scenes (like people buried in debris) that I don't think I could bring myself to watch. So as much as Mr. Stone has the right to make whatever movie he wants, I have the right to not go see it.And yes, there are some war movies that I also choose not to see...
