Well I'm going to have to go against the grain here...
I don't think a film like this should be made.
A fictional plot, ok cool... but it is a living person depicted... I just can't find an excuse for that.
I mean, if you were to put 'lets kill lil kim' on Twitface, you'd probably have your account closed and be be monitored at best, locked up at worse.
I mean a joke is a joke, but isn't this over stepping the mark a little?
...oh, and no, I'm not the over-sensitive type. People should have freedom of expression sure...
I'm just not comfortable with it being aimed at a living person.. whomever that is.. Isn't that why all major films have that disclaimer at the end?

If you're going to make claims like "Japan used this movie to get back at NK", you're gonna need some proof there, buddy.
If the U.S. sends people to NK to fight over a MOVIE, the first people I'd be questioning is the U.S. That would be a gloriously stupid move.
That would be wrong also.

What if North Korea made a movie mocking Obama for being black and killing him at the end.

Yeah things can escalate, but point blame where it belongs.
This was in no way Japan's fault.

A very American way of thinking, sadly.
Japan had nothing to do with this, get over it. This is America's problem. Stop pointing fingers and deal with it.
Sony Corporation of America, located in New York, NY, is the U.S. headquarters of Sony Corporation, based in Tokyo, Japan
Nope, Sony is not a corporation that is American.
Then in February 1960, Sony Corporation of America (SONAM) was established to oversee Sony's marketing activities in the United States by "doing business with Americans like an American company." This was something that no other Japanese electronics corporation had dared to attempt. Many doubted that a company specializing in transistor radios and other electronics products, as opposed to a general trading company, could deal successfully without an agent's assistance.

Have they done so? I genuinely don't know.
What exactly is your point?
To target a living person, whomever it may be... is that not a form of bullying? Aren't we better than that?

Sony Corporation of America is LEGALLY an American corporation. It pays American taxes, gives it's employee American money, speaks English in it's boardroom, and produces AMERICAN movies.
Walks like duck, you know the rest.
You're stretching for a person to blame where there isn't one. You wanna blame someone? Blame Dan Sterling (Boy that sounds like an American name, funny that) because he wrote the screenplay.

It's obvious you're trolling me because I live in Japan. I'll stop feeding you now.
