One more reason to dislike Hollywood

I like to be entertained just like any regular joe. Hollywood is good for that. They are good for making movies that are over the top with emotion and action or adventures. The have some really good ones for entertainment value. My problem with Hollywood or any film producer is when they produce something that they base off of real life but yet can't or won't use the real fact but still try and pass it off because they want to get the "real story" out.

Let's get one thing straight - if you can't or won't you the real facts you can't get out the "real story"!!

I read about a film called "Redacted" that is being release at a Venice film festival. It is based on the rape and killing of an Iraqi girl and her family.

Reuters wrote the article and to tell you the truth they guy who made the movie, makes me sick to my stomach. The crime that the movie is based up on happened in 2003. He is coming out with a movie about it now and he said he got most of his information from the internet.

He wanted to produce this movie because:

"The movie is an attempt to bring the reality of what is happening in Iraq to
the American people."

He goes so far as to say:

"It's all out there on the Internet, you can find it if you look for it, but
it's not in the major media. The media is now really part of the corporate
establishment."

So this guy wants to take the true, twist it (because he can't tell the truth), and then try and pass it off as the truth. Doesn't the media already do that. Apparently, it is not twisted enough for him. There is nothing like taking an isolated incident that happened in this war and trying to say the whole war is like that. Sure - cause there really aren't soldiers or Marines out there dying and saving men, women and children in the process. They are all heartless thugs.

All his info he got from the internet - huh, he found enough material for one movie - I think I could find stories of the good things that have happened and make a helluva lot more than just one movie.
