The proper response to the pseudo-event regardless of "content" should be this -- yes, be moved by the art of it, as we are moved by the railroading death of the heroine in Anna Karenina, but if you want to change national railroad policy because of this, you force me to say: this is insane. It is applied Quijotism. You would be making a possibly irrevocable decision in the world based on what is, essentially, a beautifully articulated fiction. Maybe that is what revolution means.
