Sony's decision to release 'The Interview' gets mixed reactions on Twitter

Following a harrowing experience from what could be one of the biggest cyber attacks in recent history, Sony has decided it will release the movie, The Interview. The hacker group called Guardians of Peace demanded that Sony stop the release of The Interview - a comedy film that makes a mockery of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. After sending threatening emails to Sony executives and releasing sales and IT information, hackers brought confidential data of two top Sony executives Amy Pascal and Stephen Mosko out in the open. The high-profile attack put Sony in a vulnerable position as leaked information could potentially be used by fraudsters to harass the company for years. But now that the movie is set to hit theatres , it’s no longer about watching just another comedy movie. To many Americans, it’s a sign of patriotism for their country, while some see it as the victory of freedom. Many have taken it to Twitter to express their views on the screening of The Interview, here’s a look at what they are saying.
