Language Bias

Bias by Omission
The article focuses heavily on the controversy surrounding the film's release, including criticism from some in Hollywood and the lawsuit filed by Hutchins' mother. However, it gives less attention to the positive aspects, such as the film's completion being a tribute to Hutchins' memory and a way to honor her legacy.
False Dichotomy
The article presents a false dichotomy by implying that there are only two ways to deal with the tragic event: completing the film or not participating. It neglects to consider other potential responses or ways to honor Hutchins' memory.
