All of them fall under the umbrella of Sony Corporation and Harai.

Yes, Harai is the President and CEO of Sony Corporation.

I never realized what a huge responsibility Harai has on his shoulders. Sony Entertainment, Electronics and Financial Service. I guess I never thought about it. How does he have time for anything but Sony {#emotions_dlg.huh}

He delegates as any CEO does. Right?

there is a time and place for the US to show its might. A movie is not it. Putting innocent people in harms way whether there is a perceived threat or not, is not the venue to show NK that we are not afraid.

As I've been reading other reports and comments from the general public, the majority of people would not go see the movie and do not think that we as a country need to show NK that we are not afraid. We have terrorists in this country already living among us and it wouldn't take but a minute for any of them to show up in a movie theater with guns ablazin' to show us that they are not afraid. Need I remind anyone that 2 Russian men were living here off the radar until they set off a bomb in Boston during a marathon? We just don't know who is here on a work Visa or as an illegal but has connections to NK and can use this dumb movie as their platform.

Sony, or any Hollywood producer, should not be making movies under the guise of comedy about evil people who are still living and would love for that to be the matchstick that sets off WWIII.

Your statement would suggest that you don't understand freedom of speech.

I just have to get back in here... I think freedom of speech needs to be used with a dose of common sense. {#emotions_dlg.glare}

But, there's the problem.... Who's to say what "sense" is common? Whose common sense? A free, truly free, ability to express/communicate is the only way to go. We can all have opinions and preferences about any such communication, but we should never try to limit one's right to express it....however crazy, even reprehensible, strange, etc the message is perceived to be.

True, but therein lies the conundrum... hopefully, most sane people would use at least some degree of common sense in a case where saying what they would really like to say could cause problems worse than not having the freedom to say it. Putting a damper on freedom of speech in a case like this movie, I don't think would have been such a bad thing. The alternative is the possibility of bombs going off in theaters full of people. I don't know who said it previously, but who on earth thought this whole movie scenario would be funny? It's just my personal opinion, but I have to question the intelligence of the people who put this thing together in the first place.

It looks like we are just coming at the issue with different priorities. I respect your position; I simply just don't agree with it. Free speech is great, isn't it? Smiley Happy. We all want safety for everybody while preserving our rights. Smiley Happy

This is the corporate organizational structure. He oversees everything.

For the sake of argument, Ms Balls, I'd say that the movie industry is firmly associated in people's minds as Hollywood.

Geez, I've been reading her name as 'bells.' Hmmm, she's got what sony needs.
