Tasteful or not, what bothers me is that there will be actors and directors, etc. who will be profiting from this. Unless all the actors did everything for free, and all the proceeds go to something, it's difficult for me to be ok with it...

Maybe it's just the "too soon to be profiting from it" thing... cause there are plenty of historical or "based on a true story" movies that I have seen and enjoyed... I dunno. It's just different.

I understand your feeling, but the same thing could be said about almost any movie that is based on fact -- or even semi based on fact.

<--- That's why I said that at the end. I realize it can be said, but like I said, for me... it's just different

I understand your point. I sorta disagree, but I do respect it.

When I was a Freshman, everyone in Arts and Sciences had to read a book called Paula by Isabelle Allende. I HATED the book and truly felt like the author was profiting from her own daughter's death.

So, I dunno.
