Congratulations, Mr. Simon, on a very interesting essay! The flip side is that there’s a major business opportunity here for indies: someone who is willing to make an Iraq war film that people actually want to see. The public would love a film about heroes of the war, American, Iraqi, and coalition partners such as the Poles. The general topic of the Anbar Awakening — with Iraqis and Americans cooperating to skunk al-Queda — would make the hottest movie ever! Would Mel Gibson and Icon be interested? Fox News has made a bundle off the cluelessness of the old-fashioned network news shows, not to mention CNN…indies might want to learn from this example.
