cruelty against cj7
Hi,
i am surprised nobody mentioned the cruelty against cj7 as it made me loose any sympathy for the boy and his father. They torture CJ7 by:
- hitting him with bare hands and large objects
- suffocating him in a plastic bag and throwing him in the trash
- putting him in a dog fight where he sustains injuries
- choking and yelling at him
- etc....
CJ7 is clearly sentient, shows emotions and feels pain. The whole "its a toy" excuse didn't quite work for me. Also the "realization" of the boy that C7J didn't "promise" him anything in the first place seems awkward, because even if C7J did promise him all these things and didn't deliver it wouldn't justify the cruelty. Intelligent toy, cute animal or alien from space - nothing deserves to be treated like this. I am sure the Filmmakers didn't intend this but I began to hate the boy and his father. Did anybody feel the same way?
regards,
