Well you read way too much into that, and all wrong. I hope the SEALs get some of the money because they have short careers without the best pay and it would be very nice to have a nest egg when they get out. They certainly earned it. And if others are getting rich off of them, they should be entitled to some of it since they are the stars and the reason for the movie.
Being held in high regard is a wonderful thing but it doesn’t keep diapers on the kids back home and make the car payment.
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. Not sure how you can compensate a active duty person though, outside of contributing to a charity set up to support families. All of us can do that, including those who make money from movies like this.
The producers, however rich they get, have done something that is immeasurably greater than a monetary contribution. I suspect they would also be inclined to help in other ways, too, but I didn’t leave the movie pondering that.
Maybe we’ll find out by other means.
Larry, both of your posts are very well thought out and stated, but your suggestion that we make a donation to a SEAL Charity is the best part of your posts. Although I'm a regular contributor to the USO, I'll break off something for the S/F guys, tip of the spear. Thanks for the suggestion!
