However, the "original" Swedish-based film "Let The Right One In" is in my opinion, and many critics also agree, is better than the "Americanized" remake "Let Me In" for various reasons.

are scared of change, are the ones who make unfair laws and rules that people who are different have to follow. Like African-Americans, who had far few rights then they do today.

Apes Having Equal Rights Primatologist Frans de Waal of Emory University, says, “I do think we have special obligations to the great apes as our closest relatives, but if we give rights to apes, what would be the compelling reason not to give rights to monkeys, dogs, rats, and so on?” All animals should have rights but it needs to be kept clearly in mind, that apes are what we, as humans, have descended from.

the one in the film and around the country, it can be easy for people to just say to shut them up or even just jail them. Some may react in a way where they want to run them out of town and may even want to do so with violence. But what about peoples rights? Do they keep any of them if we just don’t like them, or like what they have to say? Or are they entitled to them no matter what they do as long as they don’t interfere with the rights of others?
