p> DIRECTOR'S CUTS br> Re: James Bowman's review of Sorry, Haters : /p>

Thank you for reviewing our film Sorry, Haters.

I found your review very thoughtful, but somewhat misguided:

1. Why is our film obliged to explain all Arab/Muslim/American points of view? Is the message you received from Brokeback Mountain that all cowboys are latent homosexuals?

2. If you are looking for airtight realism, you might want to pick a film with a title that is not quite as silly.

3. As far as your claim that "(Terrorism) is not the work of sociopaths, however reassuring it might be to think so, but of people who have a political point of view, however misguided, which they are determined to act upon." I would like to refer you to this airtight, real event where a New York policeman tried to set off a bomb in Times Square in 2004. He had no political affiliation that was known, and was, by all accounts, trying to recreate the "hero" feelings he had on September 11, 2001.

I am extremely thankful that the policeman's bomb did not effectively detonate that day in 2004.

p>Your "ludicrous" labeling of Sorry, Haters aside, I am hoping that all of the psychologically troubled, disenfranchised people of our great society are recognized and treated, before causing any harm to themselves or others.
