meet the faulkners

dear hollywood,

i am but a simple woman with no working knowledge of the movie industry. i am just a wife, mother, daughter, sister, teacher and follower of christ. and while 99% of the time my heart’s desire is that all would come to know christ and be saved from eternal damnation- i’m not going to cry when you jackasses don’t show up at the pearly gates. your movie, orphan, opening soon is detestable. it is without a doubt the worst and most vicious attack on children that i have ever seen.

i am completely shocked that a group of adults sat in a room and thought, “that’s a great idea! let’s make the orphan EVIL!!!!” or “yeah, orphans don’t get enough screen time, let’s really make them scary!”

orphans in our world today are the most down and out group of humans on our planet. they have no parents or family to advocate, protect, or provide for them. and so the fact that you took it upon yourselves, heartless hollywood, to take advantage of them is disgusting. you knew full well that no advocacy group would shut you down. those of us that actually care for orphans are kind of busy organizing mission trips, finding more funds for orphan care ministries, convincing people to donate medical services and money for schools, and praying for the 140 million orphans of the world. had i been more aware of what movies were in production over the past year, maybe i could have stopped you from making this horrifying mistake.

your movie makes me want to vomit and you can be sure that my family and i will not be seeing it. as a matter of fact, when it comes to redbox i will rent every copy, scratch the crap out of them and then return them.

in closing, here are some the kids you dishonored with your vile movie. i hope their beautiful eyes haunt your dreams (if you can actually sleep at night) and that you do something to make this right.

no respect for you hollywood,
margo

ps- here is a website with a petition you can sign to urge warner bros to give proceeds of the movie to orphan care.
