Let me clarify my position a bit...
I cannot condemn everyone involved. I mean, even in such times, writers and artists can't stop being writers and artists. They're going to comment on what's happening and I shouldn't fault them for that.
But...it seems kind of silly to suggest that movie executives green light films based on anything other than 'how much money can we make of this?' I've never heard of a studio putting out a movie for any reason other than the promise of profit.
And that's kind of the problem I have with it. You say it's done tastefully and I believe you, but somewhere in his office, there's a movie executive who gave the go-ahead to make this movie because he knew he could make the studio a lot of money simply because of subject matter. That's a little a disgusting.
