"The Death of a President" is a controversial mockumentary depicting the fictional assassination of President George W. Bush, utilizing real footage alongside actors. The film has sparked significant debate over its morality, with some arguing it disrespects the office of the presidency and could incite violence among unstable individuals. While some theater chains have chosen to ban the film, others defend its right to be shown under free speech principles. Critics express concern about the blending of reality and fiction, particularly the use of actual footage of a sitting president. The film's release has generated mixed reactions, highlighting the tension between artistic expression and societal responsibility.

Then don't go watch it. Oops, too late. (Nice catch 22, eh?)



Run everyone, the morals police is back! You still don't get free speech, do you?

Good God cyrus I have been on the free speech band wagon for the last 40 years. However when I started reading lately about the effects of violence on our society, I realized that we must draw a line.

A few years ago I saw a movie that was advertised as being banned in Denmark, and it was done so in a manner that was supposed to give people the idea that it was tooo sexy for Denmark. What a laugh, movies in Denmark are notoriously sexually liberated. What they don't tolerate is violence. And that is why the movie was banned in Denmark.

Our society has gone haywire. Little old ladies will have a fit over a bare breast in a movie, but will tolerate bloody shotgun scenes. Whats up with this? What is the more natural act, sex or murder? And what the heck happened to a good old fashioned mystery drammas? People don't want movies that make them have to think, they just want to sit there mindlessly watching the bloody mayhem. If a movie has more than three or four characters they can't keep up with the plot.

arrggg arrggg aarrrgg the end

Excuse me but let me say, soooooooooooooooooooo what?

What does that have to do with free speech?

Ed, you don't like the movie, don't go see it. THE END.

Can you elaborate on these points please? Are you suggesting these movies are not merely over some moral line, but that they have a direct cause-effect relationship with attempts at assassination of the president?

Dave it has happened before. After Hinckley's attempt to assassinate Reagan his lawyers even tried to use the movie "Taxi Driver" as an excuse for his plea of temporary insanity. As we know that didn't fly with the jury, but never the less he was influeced greatly by the movie.

We live in very troubled times. I have posted a link on watching viloence and the long term affect on people. And there are dozens of links and studies that all arrive at the same conclusion.

I remember as a seventeen year old being in NYC and seeing Ike's limo drive buy. He was waving at the crowd from an open vehicle. Imagine a president doing that now. What happened? Forty years of a an increasingly violent culture. Oswald didn't help, it was the first time that people watched a murder over and over. Murder somehow became the norm.

We are even in a cycle of ever increasing violence. Each movie has to be a bit more violent than the last to be accepted. Give me a good old fashioned comedy with a bit of sex in it and where everyone leaves the theater smiling. please

Maybe you should make a point for a change Edward. What you have posted is nothing but your (wrong) opinion. And in the process taken away free speech. Good job.

No, seriously. What your saying makes no sense to anyone but yourself. Stop trampling on my rights. I am still waiting for a point though.
