The Interview

It’s hard to see what all of the fuss was about. Critics complained that maybe this comedy was offending an entire culture, but I don’t agree. It only goes after the leaders, who deserve to be ridiculed. The Americans in this movie aren’t much smarter, and to say that this movie is a “declaration of war” is just ridiculous. But maybe that’s the point. If a dictator is so volatile he can be insulted by a dumb comedy, maybe he’s not fit to lead? Anyway, we laughed, we didn’t get blown up, and satire, it seems, has become the biggest threat of all.
