WAR??!!!

       Hollywood is known for bring liberal town, where conservatives like Jon Voight and Chuck Norris seem outnumbered by cadre of clooneys and weinsteins. so when it comes to problems, it would follow that the thrust of movies touching on some of the people's relationship with illegal substances but the government's war on the illegal substance and the DEA. but it not that easy, because Hollywood liberal it probably, is a town built business, where movies cost and make tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.

    as a result to illegal theme  in movies there two main categories which these films: message movies and action film. like " Scarface " and "Half Nelson".....

  but seeing what filmmakers like Oliver stone have to say on the topic; and what pictures like "Scarface"

reveal about the America's view of drug commerce....................

    i think this article is important because it effects people and sends a bad message and also Hollywood is not helping that much and with the government trying to stop this madness .... so it send the wrong message wont it effect others ?

    i think this impact me as a student and also a future filmmaker because what happens if i'm trying to make a action film but i don't want to send a wrong message?  this article made me realize that you always have to be careful as a filmmaker............

"THE AVENGERS CRISIS !! "    

The Avengers has exceeded all expectation and shattered box office records, but there was some people that were not ecstatic with the film... Some actors from Bollywood and other people from India claim the marvel tired trope of a westerner coming and saving beleaguered easterners... one of the actors ( Rituparna Sengupta ) said that the scene that was filmed in new Mexico a certain ignorance by the filmmakers.. the actor also said " Kolkata has rich culture and heritage, and a filmmaker should respect that,"

he told the Hindustan times.....

      The Hindustan times also reported that the movie "The Avengers" has rang up to $207.1 million in the opening the weekend sales in America,  which contributed to $654.5 million over about a WEEK in a half

sooo more money i guesss there will be problems...........

       This article is important because it effects us because if  Hollywood gets more money we get less.....
if Hollywood keeps given money to other places and not here we might lose money.........
      What got my attention was that the actor said "Kolkata has rich culture and heritage, and a filmmaker should respect that "
i think i agree with that because everybody even a filmmaker should respect the culture and heritage,
  and the actor also said "there are two scene about India and they only show slums and it could of been done in a better taste...."
