an emotional kidnapping

I haven't watched the film, nor will I watch it, but after reading a few reviews, I was deeply moved. Indeed, as they said, it was an emotional kidnapping.
The so-called propagandists hyped it up, you don't regret watching it, you don't cry when you watch it, it's not human, it's cold-blooded, isn't this an emotional kidnapping? Don't put on a humanistic gesture, isn't it just making a film that stands on a moral high ground to force the audience not to say the opposite? What is the purpose? Don't tell me that Chinese commercial film directors have suddenly turned their attention to human nature. Isn't it serious that they use the theme of national mourning to attract attention and make a lot of money at the box office?
The most disgusting and inhumane ones are actually you producers. Ordinary audiences shed a little tears when they watched it. Maybe it’s okay to think about it for a day or two. But how do people who have not experienced earthquakes know the horror of earthquakes? How to understand the pain of losing a loved one as hell? The hype of this film is not so much propaganda as it is another injury to the survivors of the earthquake. A colleague of my mother was a survivor of the Tangshan Earthquake. In the earthquake, she lost her grandmother and sister. The wall fell, and her sister, who was holding hands, was crushed to death. She was still alive and was rescued by her mother desperately. . Things that happened decades ago, even if you have your own happy life now, but you can't stop shaking when you hear the word "earthquake", you yourself imagine what survivors like her would be like when they saw this film a feeling? Impressed? Or deep fear? Another laceration?
You guys are really cruel and inhuman for the box office.

PS: To add, those who spend money (ranging from more than 100 to dozens of dollars) to watch the film, you don’t feel that after sitting down, there is a sense of not watching it seriously, or not watching it. I was touched--especially when many people said that they were sorry for the money they spent when they cried so hard? Maybe it wasn't so moved, but it was already at that time, and my eyes were still a little wet, and I thought to myself: Ah. . . I was finally moved, I cried, and then I walked out of the theater with peace of mind, and came back and wrote a film review: The Tangshan earthquake was so beautiful, I was moved in a mess. kindness. . . A perfect movie experience.
