Tommy, according to James Franco, was delighted to see his story on the big screen. That's what I'm torn about--I saw the movie as exploitation; the object of what I considered exploitation is pleased with it and apparently doesn't feel exploited. There are plenty of examples in movies and in life of people who have been exploited not realizing they were being exploited and being delighted by the attention. On the other hand, who am I (to quote the Pope) to judge?
