Why is it a political statement, and why should this affect how I enjoy his work? As I mentioned above, it doesn't stop people enjoying Roald Dahl's work, either because they don't know of his views or feel that his views are irrelevant to one of the countless millions of replica products they own that is attributed to his work.
I'm not trying to be purposely argumentative. I just cannot see why I should view it as a political statement, rather than a "I just want to see an awesome movie" statement. Also, why should people care that others should not see this movie?
- pron 13y agoAlmost everything you do is a political statement. If you don't accept that, that's a political statement in itself. Feeling that someone's beliefs are irrelevant to their work is certainly a political statement. I mean, let's take it to the extreme: suppose an artist brutally murdered your entire family. Would you still be able to enjoy his work? Would you think that his actions are irrelevant? If you think that someone's beliefs and political views are irrelevant to their work, it simply means that they simply don't mean so much to you. That is a political statement. Also, Roald Dahl is dead, and was, in his life, a quirky writer. Card, according to Wikipedia, is a political activist. An action against him would be quite effective, and meaningful.
