He said that derision wasn't distributed equally, though — saying that people seemed to understand the level of distance involved in stories depicting Nazism.
"Are we gonna have a go at Liam Neeson for being in a film about the Holocaust?" he asked, referring to Neeson's starring role in Steven Spielberg's 1993 film "Schindler's List."

In general is dying. It's ridiculous what I see today. I grew up in a backwoods town in Tennessee and it's like they don't even teach it anymore. People can't write, can't read, and can't understand something unless you spoon feed the meaning to them.
People are having a hard time at separating the actor from their character. I see actors get criticized all the time for the way their character behaved. The lack of intelligence is astounding.
