Okay, I thought what fmsv meant was that people would somehow indicate this while in the theater (by cheering or raising a fist or applauding or I dunno what).

Honestly, I haven't the slightest bit of problem with people being angered by the movie (and/or the events portrayed in it)-- that seems a logical thing to me. I didn't expect the terrorists to be portrayed in such a way that one would root for them (unless, you know, you're a terrorist or someone very much for their cause).

I also don't have a problem with any of those quotes. (Do you? Why? Perhaps that's a conversation better had in person. I'm really trying to understand this stuff, but few people will ever discuss these things with me). Note I haven't gone and read the entire pieces.

If fmsv was more concerned about what people might say later, I don't see how that effects one's enjoyment (or non enjoyment) of the movie. But then I often don't understand the furor around certain movies (like The Passion or The Last Temptation of Christ, to name two I can think of right now). They're just movies.

Hrm. Not sure I'm being clear, sorry.
