Ok....I am in college studying to be a Journalist. I have been following the Bernardo case for the past little while. I was merely 10 when the "Deal with the Devil" occurred.
The movie, Deadly, is one I know I want to see. Everyone has the right to free speech and freedom of expression. The film maker has taken that and turned it into a movie.
As for the profitting from the movie...I was reading that the film maker wants to work out a deal so that a good majority of the profits go to a charity that the victim's families approve.
If this movie does get banned in Ontario, there will still be ways of Ontarians seeing it.
These crimes were horrific, I have no doubts about that, but as stated above....if you don't want them to profit from the move, don't see it. If people don't go see it, the movie will be a flop and be pulled from theatres (I doubt this will happen.)
Anyways...to finish I have one thing to say....our justice system sucks when you can get 13 years for smuggling drugs and strike a deal against your husband for crimes you participated in (including the murder of your own sister) and walk in 12.
Just sum food for thought.
