Some of you are against the film while some appreciate it. Most of the things that you have said are true in some manner.     But we must never forget where we live. There is a culture in this country. It is different to that of the western countries. People think differently. We cannot change it. It is true that we have the freedom of expression. But that does not mean we should express everything that comes to our minds. If Ashoka Handagama is free to expresss his ideas to the world in manner like that why not that guy from Elakiri express his ideas in a language like that. (Most of you have crisized the way Hasitha talked about the film)    Sri Lanka has an image. We are buddhists. We tell to the world about our culture and religion highly. But what would the people around other countries  think when they see this film? We do not want these kind of films to show mothers love towards a child.    This may not be a bad film from an artistic view point. It may be a very good film. But guys, for the ordinary people I think this is not suitable.     People in most of the othere countries think in a free style. According to them this may be a good film. But, are we making films for other countries? Are we making films only to get awards from othere countries? No guys! I think directors and other people who are in the film industry should make films suitable for our country.      A good artist should be able to produce things that should somehow be helpful to represent his country or things that help people to gain a better understanding about the surrounding. I think this film is not going to help that.      Ashoka Handagama has very different way of thinking. He does things differently which makes him a good artist. But he should use his ability to produce good creations. Creations suitable for people in our country.     So guys this is how I think. Hope to hear from you.</blockquote>
