Recently in the media world, Sony Pictures had been working
on a movie that was planned to be released on Christmas day. Seth Rogan and
James Franco were going to be staring in this comedy film called “The Interview.”
The plot being the assassination of Kim Jung Un, did not go over to well with
Korea. Un had people hack into Sony threatening the theaters, that led to four
of the major movie company’s backing out of showing this film. Is it smart of
them to back out of showing this movie? Or is it cowardly? As the United States,
we have this thing called freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, free
to do whatever we want, all while abiding by the law of course. But if we have
freedom as a country why is Sony deciding to pull their movie? Because we are
scared of some threats? The United States gets threatened all the time, and we
are going to let it affect what we watch? Even though it sounds very arrogant
and foolish, if we want to watch or produce a movie as Americans’ we should do
just that. But what if Sony did produce this movie, and it went to theaters
everywhere. Then North Korea launched an attack on the U.S. and we had a war on
our hands, all because of some movie. Sounds like a pretty dumb thing to go to
war about. But if we don’t produce this movie than Korea has beaten us without
even fighting us. Truthfully I don’t know what is worse, getting attacked by
Korea because of a movie, or losing a battle we haven’t even fought in. I think
as American citizens we are very selfish and arrogant and we want what we want
when we want it. Which isn’t a good thing, but since we already are we mine as
well go with it and get what we want, we have the best military in the world! I
don’t think we should be afraid of Kim Jung Un just because of a movie.
