The creators of movies put out a trailer to tell you what the movie is about. If they didn't want to give folks (not just myself) the wrong impression then they should have done better to present it properly. You only get one chance to make a good first impression. How hard is it to understand that people refuse to financially support something that seems to present something they find distasteful? If in fact the creators are making light of the holocaust then it is IMO trash and they are schmucks. Also, for reference sake, I have seen The Producers many times and love it because it clearly mocks Hitler without any ambiguity. I am not triggered by all things about the war, Germany or even Hitler. How many here have read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich? I have.

First, I have not pulled the "I'm offended" card. I believe in freedom of expression even if I find it morally wrong. Why do I judge the movie? The trailer is its first impression they want me to have and I've already told you before:

I don't feel that it is necessary for me to defend my opinion. I stated it and that I won't financially support that movie. You have a right to your opinion and I have a right to mine. We will have to agree to disagree. It is a waste of time to keep restating the same things.

BTW, once it comes out on TV and I can see it without financially supporting a questionable movie, I hope to remember to find this thread and either confirm or recant my opinion.
