This story line is so far fetched and ridiculous.
Why is it that actors who were not in the military want to make movies that portray veterans as criminals, and washed out dregs of society who are broke and emotionally disturbed?
I am a veteran so is my Dad, 5 Uncles, My Brother, My Grandfather, 2 Great Uncles and numerous cousins.
Guess what?
Not one is a criminal. Not one has emotional problems. Not one was sorry for a thing they did in the military. Not one is broke.
They should do a movie on how many people go to Hollywood to find a job and get hooked on drugs and commit suicide.
How many broke actors, directors, actresses with emotional problems make movies, or try to make movies and then become criminals?
I bet the list is long.
Many people know that Veterans by and large are upstanding, compassionate, hard working people. Oh but that won’t do in Hollywood because Veterans must be portrayed as losers with a deep seeded guilt from being a Man that loves Family, God, Country and served.
Want to know why these movies flop? Ask a Marine.
Give the people what they want….
Here’s some ideas for the next blockbuster:
Spector: A movie about a Hollywood Music Executive who kills a woman teases his hair, does drugs and gets a big house and a new wife named bubba.
OJ Not for just for Breakfast anymore: A Hollywood actor cuts his wife’s head off and beats the rap using the race card but goes to Vegas and gets 20 years by committing more crime.
Madoff and Me: A charming story about Hollywood geniuses falling for the largest Ponzi scam in world history reducing some of Hollywood’s military hating establishment into broke losers with emotional problems.
