It's based on a true story. The older kid survived IRL and wrote the book.
None of this makes it any better.
It’s not about making you feel good, it’s about showing you a point in history that happened.
Non-sequitur. I don't need to watch a bunch of Irish people starve to death to know the Potato Starving happened.
Sure, but the movie literally starts by telling you it’s the story of how the kid died.
If you watched past that it’s pretty silly to get upset over the fact that the movie is what it told you it was going to be.
You're not wrong, but I had already paid for the ticket at that point and I didn't want to Karen my way to a refund. And, I had never seen it before, so I didn't know to take it literally. I didn't enjoy the experience, but it was a masterwork of an animated movie.
There would be something seriously wrong with you if you did!
Agreed. It wouldn't surprise me if there was rule34 material online somewhere.
