Movies show all kinds of inappropriate, immoral, and illegal behavior. Usually, we get to see the consequences of that behavior, too, and realize it’s not something we should ever do. Instead of encouraging the behavior in the viewer, it discourages it. That’s a good thing.

Without seeing the whole movie, we don’t know what the message is. We shouldn’t condemn the film on the basis of the trailer. That’s like condemning a story on the basis of a headline without reading it. If you don’t like what you see in the trailer, don’t see it, but don’t pretend you know what the film is really about. If you didn’t see the end of The Wizard of Oz, you might think it encourages kids to run away.
