While the film has obviously found its supporters, backlash against i continues to grow. Yesterday, director Kathryn Bigelow defended her film from charges it promotes torture in an Op-Ed for th Los Angeles Times Bigelow claimed artistic license writing, "those of us who work in the arts know that depiction is not endorsement." While this is obviously true, the film goes further than depiction. As Deepa Kumar wrote he film promotes extra judicial killing and the drone warfare that has become the hallmark of the Obama administration's "war on terror."

When I went to see Django, the theater was RIDDLED with kids! It was crazy. Like I would say at least a couple dozen kids, if not more. And when I say kids I mean anything from babies to 10 year olds, not teenagers. I would never take a kid to a movie that violent!

It really is amazing how parents just completely ignore the rating system and take kids to whatever they want to see, not caring about the impact that seeing level of violence is going to have on their child. Most kids I have seen have been unhappy/crying and their parents don't even care plus it's ruining other people's movie watching experience :(

I guess the parents just don't want to pay for sitters? I don't know, whatever the reason, it's messed up. Something that violent is clearly over the line. I only noticed one kid making noise in my show, and that was only for a second. I guess the other kids were either watching it or sleeping :/
