Eleni

I was very dissapointed in the movie, it was so thin compared to the book.

I basically agree...I wasn't all that disappointed with the movie, but it does pale in comparison to the book.

However, that's almost always the case. A two-hour movie can never match a well-written novel for details and emotion.

Nevertheless, the story of Eleni is powerful and the movie is 100 times better than the typical Hollywood drivel.

Thanks! I just contacted them to ask if my screenplay fits the profile they seek and to ask about fees/schedule...and to give them the name of my WGA signatory Agent. Now, I wait.

Perhaps a great starting point would be to somehow fund the distribution of "The Passion" by Mel Gibson?

Just a thought...

Agreed, I was actually surprised they even made it into a movie.

The Manchurian Candidate was a left wing film that was built on the leftist myth of "McCarthyism". The Republican Senator is depicted as a hapless drunk dominated by his conniving and murderous wife secretly in league with the ChiComs in a plot to take over the presidency and the world. A fun film, but hardly a nominee for Conservative.

Hitler was not a direct threat to the United States, and in retrospect, we should have let the Nazis KEEP France!
