In defense of ‘The Interview’
Nothing is grander than art. Nothing is nobler than free speech. When we let small, hate-filled minds take those from us, we all lose something essential not just to the enjoyment of life, but to life itself. Let’s remember the words of Winston Churchill when he confronted something far more terrifying than this bunch of amateurish, terror-bent morons we’re now facing: “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets; we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender. … Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty. Never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” I’m talking to you, Sony Pictures, Regal Entertainment, AMC and all other entertainment companies who have backed down from the recent, cowardly threats made by heathens lacking the courage to reveal their sad, bankrupt identities.
