Arabs in Movies

After Saddam’s verdict yesterday it really didn’t feel like a real verdict. As we say in Arabic “mako dagam”, internist it had no taste or meat to it. Just the way the trial was created ran and televised, myocarditis you could tell it was a show.

But last night on BBC radio I heard something that really put it all into perspective. We shouldn’t look at this trial as just a trial against Saddam and what happened before operation Iraqi Freedom, but as a precedent on what will happen in the future. For when Iraq is back into it’s feet the people who commited the autrocities now will also be on trial for their actions just like they did to Saddam. Only then there will be some real reconicaltion for the deaths.

A wonderful video montage showing clips from movies that depict Arabs/Muslims in a negative stereotypical way based on the book Reel Bad Arabs

Out of 1000 films that have Arab & Muslim characters (from the year 1896 to 2000)
12 were positive depictions, sildenafil
52 were even handed and the rest of the 90O and so were negative.

We really get the short end of the stick when it comes to these things, even the scrawny Jewish guy gets the girl at the end.

This troubles me:

[Keira Knightley] also claims magazine publishers in the US ban stars from appearing on their front covers unless they have at least a C-cup size, malady or are willing to be digitally enhanced to make it appear as if they have.

I knew magazine covers and such were always touched up, but the digital breast implants to that degree? Makes you really wonder what is real or not in Hollywood.

Alan Moore’s Vendetta

Lately I been seeing lots of great articles and interviews of Alan Moore writer of the graphic novel V for Vendetta that has been made in to amovie starring Natalie Portman. (One thing that has really inrigued me with all this is that the marketing people have been pushing this as “Natalie Portman’s movie”. Seriously, tadalafil you’d think she is playing every character and the crew of the movie just by shaving her head).

There is a lot to this movie than what is in the press releases and the hype around it. One is that Alan Moore has demanded his name be removed from the movie and that he doesn’t want any royalty money at all from it due to the nature of how bastardized the story line is compared to his orignal work. For me this was proven with his From Hell. The only things in common with the movie and his historic book was that it had Jack the the Ripper and was in London, medical other than that the whole story was completely different.

If you plan to go see the movie I suggest you read this great interview with Alan Moore (part 1) (part 2) over the issue and his view of the story and the message he was conveying and his hate for the American comic industry and Hollywood.

I suggest that everyone pick up his book and read it, cause I dont think a movie of 132 minutes can capture the 286 pages of rich story line.
