Film Announced to Mock Reagan and Alzheimer's/Dementia! Unacceptable!

  • by: Michael Balagna
  • recipient: Producers of the FILM announced to be MOCKING Ronald Reagan, and having DEMENTIA!!

Recently announced and now on the headlines, there is going to be a movie featuring Will Ferrell. First I would like to say that I am a huge fan of him and his roles and he is a really great comedian and actor. HOWEVER this film being released, well it's focusing on United States past President Ronald Reagan. It is said to be mocking him, because well yes, I admit there is plenty of material available to shed some laughter on his persona and life. But to cross the line and base the "plot" of this movie around how he is developing Dementia/Alzheimer's is extremely controversial to what a comedy should be taking target towards!
To target a man/woman, in a most high up position where he should be treated with honor and respect, and to laugh at an ALL TOO SERIOUS disease...is more than enough reason for us to not get excited about. I can't help but be impartial because well I feel this could be a really fantastic film...but that feeling is EXTREMELY impartial to the common sense in me instantly realizing that it's pretty messed up to center all attention to the suffering that is Dementia. The producers I sure do hope have never had to experience a loved one who has had to deal with this sickness. Or maybe they have, and just have no regard of respect to how horrible it is, and just don't give a damn.....
Either way, I do give a damn, and I really hope there are others who agree with me on this. I highly doubt that there is anything I alone can do to reassure the message to them that they are out of their mind on this one, so hoping that this page and our voices Will!
If this is an argument that you would side with..please feel free to show your support.

Again, this is no bash against Will Ferrell or the ones casting in it (however I would like them to think twice about it..) but instead to get a message to the producers, and how this is intolerable!! Thank you all for your support!
