But in the wake of 'Bullet, ' all the guys wanted to know was, 'How's it doing? How's it selling?' How to tell them I didn't give a flying fuck how it was doing in the marketplace, that what I cared about was how it was doing in the reader's heart?Stephen King
About This Quote
The movie "Bullet" tells the story of a young man who is shot by a police officer and paralyzed from the waist down. This movie was extremely popular and helped to bring attention to the fact that people with disabilities are still not considered to be equal in society. It was an amazing film that opened up many doors to the argument that people with disabilities should be given equal rights. However, not everyone responded positively towards this film.
Many critics slammed it for being violent and having a negative message. However, the author of the quote feels that the purpose of this film was simply to bring attention to what life is like for people who have disabilities and how they often do not receive the same opportunities as others. The author encourages people to see beyond their own comfort zone and fight for what they believe in.
