A Diary Of A Mesowarrior Living With #Mesothelioma Peter Rabbit shows Mr McGregor scrapping #Asbestos from walls while eating ?Really?
I have just been told by a Mesowarrior who went to watch Peter Rabbit film yesterday with her boys.
She told me there is a scene following the death of old grumpy man Mr McGregor. he has a heart attack…but it went onto say it wasn’t Peter who was to blame as Mr McGregor had made wrong life style choices…..it showed him eating unhealthy foods, no exercise and then scrapping off Asbestos from walls while eating .
The wall was labelled clearly to make the point.
She failed to see humour in that ! and why add it to a children’s film
Her eldest son realised it was wrong !!!
She heard people laugh and mutter Asbestos. and the comment “bad lifestyle choice” As if our loved ones knowingly breathed this in through choice.
She said – I was so angry!!
Now that’s Just not right.
So far it has been controversial because of taking the mickey out of some character with a food allergy but I hadn’t heard about the asbestos aspect. On the one hand anything which raises knowledge of the danger is I suppose useful but is it raising awareness and is it right to do it in a cartoon film of such a well loved story.
And to do so by making it seem that people chose to get this condition is wildly unfair-
I want to invite the distributors to cut it out on the grounds that the families of the 2500 dying each year (some of whom will have had their diagnosis and died in the period between the film’s release and subsequent sale as a dvd in the supermarkets) will consider this to be grossly insensitive.
I would like to make clear that the point about the diagnosis and death between film and dvd is just a way to bring home to these people in terms they will understand just how swiftly this disease can appear, disable and then kill!
