Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 OMG. And to think this all started because I was reading McLean's magazine > sitting on the loo one night and saw it mentioned in the last paragraph of a > story about the actor who plays Leland. ROFLMAO!!! I was sitting in the bathtub, thinking about everything that happened today -- thinking about this post, I busted out laughing. Matt thinks I've really gone off the deep end. I probably have. Sissi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 wow... do you think this new synopsis is more the true story of the film? or do you think they're trying to cover their asses?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 The new synopsis was obviously written by Stacey. OMG. And to think this all started because I was reading McLean's magazine sitting on the loo one night and saw it mentioned in the last paragraph of a story about the actor who plays Leland.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Do you really think that they changed it just for us? Chances are probably not. They just are not going to say the " A word " . They have to be politically correct you know. If they don't name the disability no one will be offended. I mean, the story line demands that a disabled child die. I don't think it matters what the disability. It could be Downs Syndrome, it could be MS, it could anything. As long as they don't name it, don't call attention to it, they are not offending anyone. Idiots. Georga Re: Re: This is getting scary > " or do you think they're trying to cover their asses?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 " The United States of Leland begins with a tragedy, but its central concern is how something bad can ultimately inspire people to change their lives for the better " So NOW the movie is about all the GOOD that comes of murdering an autistic child...That's even better than making the guy who murders the kid a hero. -Sara.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 sounds like a pretty weak synopsis to me . If I knew nothing about this movie, this synopsis would not make me want to go see it.... I'M THANKFUL FOR LAUGHTER, JOY AND THE HIGH SPIRITED GLEE THAT FILLS MY HEART TO OVERFLOWING (SIGH). -EEYORE This is getting scary They've changed the entire synopsis. I can't believe this is happening. http://www.thousand-words.com/pro/leland.html Jacquie, I know we weren't going to do this here. Everything seems to be out of control right now.

They're not going to change the film if it's already been made. I doubt they'd even go to the expense of re-editing it to try to remove any references to autism.

He also says " we can't give up on these kids " -- Oddly enough, he's talking about teenage murderers not autistic kids. http://www.sundancechannel.com/24framenews/index.php?ixContent=1768 & archivec ount=11# Sissi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
