Exactly will...
It isn't a matter of whether you agree with the premise or the conclusion of the film (though I would argue you can't really do much than be outraged at the premise if you haven't seen the film). What matters is that this is a film that is attempting to grapple with a contemporary issue.
For what I can tell, not having seen the film, the actual assination is context rather than the meat of the film. Get over it. They are making a film that is attempting to explore the world that the current administraion has created. They are suggesting a certain outcome based on what they believe would happen given these circumstances.
It is a fictional film. Get over yourselves. Fictional films are made all the time that deal with contemporary figures. This one is just ballsy enough (maybe foolish enough) to show the assination of a current head of state. To me, it suggests more immediacy to the plot.
Is it "leftist"... perhaps (I haven't seen the film). Does this offend me anymore than if it were "rightist"? Not really. IT'S FICTION.
Get over yourselves.
