How many times have I heard the criticism that the show "Ozzie and Harriet", or “Leave It To Beaver” were not real life? In answer to this criticism the networks gave us “Married With Children”. Now there’s a show that should keep the I’m-failing-as-a-parent blues at bay.
But what happens when a show actually reflects real life?
Well apparently the makers of the movie “God Bless America” don’t want to live up to this standard. Judging from the trailer, it appears that this movie allows its makers, and viewers, to fantasize about how they wish they could respond to the trials of human relations. One of those trials is some misbehavior in a theater. So the characters respond the way they respond to all the other things that they don't like about their fellow humans. They shoot them… right there in the theater.
But now, since such has become real life, they are going to remove that part. Go figure. Don’t worry though. Since no one has gone on a shooting rampage in the park, or at a protest, lately there’s plenty of opportunity elsewhere in the film to vicariously live out the fantasies of simply blowing away those wedon’t like.

I'd take "The Rifleman," "Leave it to Beaver," "Ozzie and Harriet" and other "families" of that nature long before I'd want the families who'd support the trash this movie depicts.
If the claim is that the others aren't real life, then I suppose this trash is?
