For those that don't see the relation between "not liking the movie because its historical innacuracies/political incrrectness" and education I would recommend they take the time to compare the budget dedicated to education in your country or a few other countries as well, and the budget of the entertainment industry in the same country/ies.
THAT is the problem! Entertainment has gone massive it's everywhere and uses any and all resources known to men. Education is just a footnote.
The problem is not that some opinions, artworks, parties, books, or media propose a version of things we might consider "insulting"...the problem is we are depriving ourselves as human beings and as societies the access to the right tools to adequately judge such things.
I think I understand the position of those that didn't like the movie based on its historical "aberration". It's just that as informed and responsible human beings I would really prefer if for once we could "see the wood for the trees".
I'd like to finish this post citing one of humanity's greatest advocates for tolerance, civil rights and freedom: François-Marie Arouet AKA Voltaire. He wrote once: "...I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write."
Thanks for reading me, and thanks for disagreeing.
