Quote:Chaplin himself said it the best: "I was determined to go ahead, for Hitler must be laughed at."
And determine he was, yet let us not forget that he also ridicule US too which is a big no-no during those time.
Quote:The same applies to North Korean leaders and their pure idiocy. The big difference is, though, that Hitler accomplished something, no matter how controversial it was. North Korea is just the laughing stock of the rest of the world.
This is where it falls apart, NK has EVERY right to be offended. Unlike the many individuals that ridicule NK on a daily basis, this ONE is a well known business and thus, EASY TARGETS.
Is NK action justify? Of course Fucking not.
Did Sony toke a risk? YES
Did Sony go through with the risk? NO because they give in to terrorism, which is beyond stupid that NK can cause 9/11 to happen
Honestly, if you want someone to blame,it's Sony. If you were going for a risk like THAT, you go all the way. Seriously, what does Sony have to lose now? They got hacked, what worse can NK do but give out a poorly made MS paint poster bitchin' about the movie.
Quote:Besides, it wasn't the controversy of the film itself that was the downfall of Chaplin, the movie made a ton of money and got multiple Oscar nominations. The part where it fell apart was the speech Chaplin concluded the film with. I doubt this movie would have had a ten-minute political speech at the end of it.
Contradictory statement :O
