IMHO, the tone of the movie very serious and not disrespectful. I have not seen Memoirs Of A Geisha so I can not compare the two.
No, I wasn't comparing Memoirs of a Geisha with it, I was just saying I first saw the teaser trailer when I saw that particular film.
About the plane filled with Uruguayan rugby players that crashed in the Andes in the early 70s. They intercut scenes featuring people dying at the wrecks and eating out the flesh of the dead with comic releaf, so...

And ok, maybe it's because it happened recently. If someone asked me to allow for a relative to be a character on such a movie, I would not allow. If this happened to me, I would be one pissed off angry ghost if they did a character out of me. I might be overreacting and twisting thing a little bit here, I agree, but why am I the only one shocked by the porpouse of this film?

Both films used fictional characters. I found the movie "Alive" to be VERY disrespectful as well, even though most of them survived.

I wasn't saying they were bribed. It was a wrong statement by me, I apologise, I meant they were paid, in a legitimate way. Me, I wouldn't allow it AT ALL, no matter how much they paid me. A loved one dies and they wanna make a movie out of it? I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that, let's say, people are watching my wife die while eating popcorn at the movies...
