You folks are always going on about how immoral capitalism is and how capitalists are only worried about the bottom-line (well, you're half right). If that's the case, then we should expect the capitalists to do anything they can to make a buck...and if that means putting on an anti-war film, then so be it. Please realize that only a very small percentage of films made actually make money or get distribution in the first place. The mere fact that you are talking about it means that the film is a success and head and shoulders above what 99% of films do.
