I don't think any reasonable person should believe that the film is dangerous or 
an incitement to violence.  It may be in poor taste, but it is a movie, 
incapable of causing anyone to do anything beyond experiencing it if one chooses 
to view it.  And I'd say that,even if it was intended to incite.
