But people would want to see it for the explosions and destruction worldwide, which seems wrong to me given that the movie would be partly based on current events.
- toast0 5y agoI dunno, I don't see the moral wrong. I'm assuming the producers didn't whisper thoughts of invasion into Putin's ear to juice the numbers on their film. On an artistic level, I'd hope their process was more of 'hmmm I wonder how these current events might turn out, what stories can I tell' rather than the more cynical, 'wow, I bet I can sell a bunch of tickets it I make some cool explosions and milk this conflict', but either way it's a way for people to explore the conflict. But how do you feel about Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor on a moral level? It was more or less a vehicle for explosions and destruction based on real events, they just weren't current.
