So last night I was watching ESPN and saw that on Christmas day the movie "Mandela:Long Walk to Freedom" is going to be released in theaters. Now I can't be the only person who feels this is way too soon for a movie on Mandela. Nelson Mandela was a tremendous human being and his memory deserves to be preserved and his message needs to be taught for years to come. But for people to be profiting off of the death of one of the most influential people to ever live literally 20 days after his death is egregious and people should be disgusted by this. What's worse is to think is that they definitely made this movie while Mandela was still alive, then waited until he died to release it. Either release it while he's still alive, or wait until the sting of his death is worn off and remind people about how great Mandela was. But this is classic Hollywood assholes looking to make a buck, and it makes me sick.
