Now i know Americans are very proud about the right of free speech but i wonder if they approve of the right to make a comedy movie about an event like 911.

Now i havent seen this, and i wont watch it as making a joke out of thousands of people dying isnt in my opinion funny and furthermore in incredible bad taste.

Apparently they also use genuine footage as well.

Truly this has to be an example of just because you can does it it mean you should?

Would you watch the movie or even defend the makers right to make the movie?

I would defend their right to make the movie, the same as I'd defend my right to protest it.

Are you sure someone is making this movie, or is it just a rumor? Can't imagine someone actually thinking this is a good idea.

They were talking about it on the radio early this morning, and there's apparently a trailer on the net from the conversation i heard, so it would appear someone's made one.

I agree its in incredible bad taste and incredibly disrespectful to the victims and families of that episode in modern history.

It's hard to find humor in people jumping 70 stories to their death to keep from being engulfed in flames. Nor can I find humor in people being crushed to death.

The humor just isn't there. I can find humor in almost any situation, but not in this topic. Still, if someone wants to make a comedy of it, go for it. Hope no one goes to see it though. roll eyes

I have not heard about this movie yet, but if it is true I will not watch it. I agree that is in incredibly poor taste to even think about making fun of such a tragic event.

Yes, it is true we have the right to free speech and there are some IDIOTS that will take advantage of it. I could not, in good conscious defend such an action. Having the right to free speech myself, I would have to excersise my right and naysay this "movie".

You are right in stating just because we can, it doesn't mean we should.
