Was just reading about Leni Reufenstahl in Hollywood with her “Olympia” movie in 1938: she took out all images of Hitler, LOL.
Socialist Hollywood LOVES $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I’ve also read that some app makers have removed the swastika from historical games, in order to satisfy censors in Germany (really).
Hollywood did the same with Nazis too leading up World War II.. Shame on them.
Old news. Everyone is all about the $. Corporations everywhere do the same thing. Not just Hollywood. I am surprised anyone is surprised. If there is money in it, they’ll do it. There are no ideologies except the love of money.
This why the latest version of “Red Dawn” had the Norks instead of Chicoms.
They want global income, which is why most actors publicly cling to socialism.
Yet Hollywood still loves to wail about the 50’s blacklist.
They’ve been doing it for a while and Kissinger has been instrumental in pushing them to do it.
Among many examples, Iron Man 3 had scenes written for the Chinese release where Iron Man goes to China and has scenes with one of the most famous Chinese actresses. That part of the plot doesn't exist outside China.
Or Looper, where the main character lives in China for a while. The original story of Looper had no reference to China, but then the Chinese show up with a suitcase full of money and presto, the main character goes and lives in China for several years, and they filmed a significant part of the movie in China with a substantial cost savings.
Is anyone confused now as to why the one scene in the Nolan Batman movies where Batman leaves Gotham, he goes to have a dramatic battle above and inside the skyscrapers of Hong Kong? American Superhero movies weren't doing well in China, until Nolan sent Batman to Hong Kong.
Nothing new there, the remake of Red Dawn was changed to North Korea from China for exactly that reason.
Films can be expensive to produce and you can bet that during the 20th century, a lot of Soviet money was quietly provided to help bankroll Hollywood productions... provided the scripts and cast were “appropriate”.
I wish China were offended by liberal drool; Gd forbid Hollywood ever tries to please the 60% of Americans who are sick of it in our films. We might actually go to the movies.
When they made the Mandarin a white guy I’m Iron Man 3 that was all you needed to know.
The dreaded invader in the re-make of Red Dawn 3 years ago was SUPPOSED to be CHINA.
Instead they changed it after doing 1/3 of the movie to North Korea.
Go$h, I WONDER WHY.
The studios will cater to where the money is. There is nothing new under the son.
My wife and I frequently watch movies as part of our bi-monthly date nights. We’ve noticed for quite some time that Hollywood frequently panders to China. Case in point is Matt Damon’s “The Martian.”
I just thought it was silly that only China had a rocket to save the astronaut and they were gracious enough to let NASA use it.
No SpaceX, no Orbital Science, no Boeing, no Russia, no Arianne. Nope, China once again comes to the rescue!
