China Film Journal

I just came across an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that mentions how some people over at Northwestern University are worried about the film’s impact:

John Dunkle is worried about a stigma being attached to students with mental-health issues and to students who are Asian males. A movie due out this spring could make matters worse for both groups, said the director of counseling and psychological services at Northwestern University at a session here today.

The one comment that has been left so far is somewhat humorous:

I have an idea: all “bad guys” in movies should be aluminium robots. That way, if there are any idiots in the audiance they can leave the theater angry at all aluminium robots.
