I've been using art to try to destroy art for decades now; but that's not where this thread went.
I think the movie should be boycotted, and that the people that want to see it should go see it. If the boycott is so extreme that no one's allowed to see it, action should be taken to do something about that.
If that guy believes he's scientifically correct about the necessity of marriage for the future of the species, that's part of his story as much as his work is. Why does he feel that way? Is he right or wrong? Not many people would boycott his biography. Or a movie about his life. Boycotting the movie based on his book only draws attention to the topic of his personal views. Which is a good thing to know sometimes if the views are dangerous or important in any way. The movie is dispensable. Or, the movie is very good. It depends.
