I meant that we have to face this tragedy, even so fresh to our memory.
You have a very over inflated view of film.
And you and under inflated...Each his own.
You are not facing Tragedy by going to a movie.You may understand it better but that's something entirely different. Take all the countless war flicks that showed the D-Day landing and it trivialized and glorified it in typical film fashion -- until Spielberg decided to do it right for the first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan -- That is more like what really happened. It still isn't facing anything but it did illustrate that there was nothing John Wayne casual about it which most films portrayed.
Yet Spielberg did a true realistic job with the first minutes of the landing in Normandie, even if the original ( Capa, Capra... ) would suffice to me, to see & fell all the horrors the guys had to go through.
Well Hollywood was never famous for true depiction at that time, even if in the early 60´s some attempts have been made like " Pork Chop Hill " and of course, other one, much older.
It is not bad for us, to get from time to time a little " shake-up "....
