Yes, I think I will. I think that I will take this gun and put it to my head and shoot myself. Not because I was so moved by your epic use of the word wank; Not because I was enthralled with your words to the point where I was forced to do as you commanded in your little farewell statement; And not because your one sided critique of one of my favorite films demoralized me to the point where I could no longer go on living.
The reason I will now kill myself is this: If one person's nationalistic bigotry is so great that they cannot look beyond a director's oddities and an actor's incompetence to see the greater good in a film then this world is not worth living in.
Why can you not see the merit in this movie? Is it because you were too protected as a child to realize the obvious truth of the commentary it makes on society or are you just too ignortant to grasp and understand the concepts and symbolism put forth within its images.
In reality, I care little about you or the answers to these questions. The only reason I reply is that I cannot look beyond your inability to see past Coppola. I do not like the man myself, I find his arrogance extremely offensive, yet I can still view the film and find that it does make me look within and see the darkness in my own heart. I hope at some point you are able to do the same.
