Escapist fare will always come out of Hollywood. After all, they’re in business to make money. But when a mostly entertainment medium takes considerable financial risks — especially at a time when box-office receipts have been slipping — by toning down the entertainment and turning up the discomfort, then that’s worthy of note, whether or not you agree with a film’s point of view.
I agree completely. Hearing or seeing things that make you uncomfortable is what art is about. Free speech should be embraced no matter how offensive.
