Imagine Some Tact....It's Easy if You Try

It seems that Canadian film company "Peace Arch" has decided to make a film about Mark David Chapman. Chapman is the scum bag who shot and killed John Lennon 25 years ago. A senseless murder and a loss still felt today by people everywhere. The idea of making a film about Chapman is disgusting all by itself. The fact they are planning its' release to coincide with Chapman's parole hearing in 2007 is more than disgusting. It's all at once shameful and pathetic.

What makes this all the more revolting is the fact they have chosen to shoot the facade of the Dakota Building where the murder happened. I suppose I wouldn't have a problem with this except that his widow, Yoko Ono, the woman standing next to him when he was murdered, still lives in the building.

I can't think of any way to justify this disgusting reminder being thrown in this widow's face. Imagine for a moment if you can..... You are walking home with your spouse and you get to your front door where a lunatic shots them right in front of you! You watch them bleed to death on the front porch. 25 years later, you still live in that house and a film crew decides to film it while making a film on the killer. You can't imagine that can you? No, because it would never be permitted to happen to a private citizen. Why in the world should Yoko Ono have to be subjected to this?

Shame on the city of New York for issuing the permits!

Shame on "Peace Arch" for making this film in the first place and for being so insensitive to the feelings of the victims family!

And shame on anyone who goes to see this film and supports this type of insensitivity!

This is the movie poster.

They could have made a film celebrating the love and message of John Lennon. They choose this approach instead.

I urge you to not to donate your money to this trash.
