Some writers think that Hollywood won't make films about major/ true/ important scandals. And that stars won't play in them. Whoa! Think again.
THE PACKAGE - Hack man/ Cassidy/
Tommy L. Jones
.
CIA trains its own assasination ops who have been trained INSIDE
the military, to sabotage peace conferences, to assasinate and STILL make
it look like some patsy did it. This was the JFK hit by the way, this film.
The producers approached one of the wealthiest men in America for funding
for an expose on the JFK HIT. . He said 'obfuscate the details a bit and
I'll give you the money.' The Oswald patsy was a dumb kid who'd been sent
to penetrate an anarchist org. Tommy Lee Jones is the real assasin, Hack
man the MP who catches him. Great film.
REMO WILLIAMS - Fred Ward . Our pentagon/ defense industries are rife with corruption and graft, revolving doors. Watchable, commercial comedy but the real facts hidden inside the cookie.
MISSING- Lemmon/ Spacek- OUR CIA, DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE, State Dept was guilty of complicity with the Chilean Death squads in murdering a nationalist ruler abroad and seeking out liberals, democrats, socialists, opinion makers in the country and taking these 30,000 people, locking them in stadium, then assasinating them. CIA directs the riots that cause public tumult and tumble liberal politicos out of office so that they can then, install a flunkie dictator, that is if the nat'lst president has dared to try to get back Chile's copper fields from ANACONDA COPPER INC. as happened in CHILE. They cover for each other, State/CIA. Costa Gavras directed. Won many oscars.
JFK, SALVADOR and 4th of July and WALL STREET, FOUR Oliver Stone films. Many oscars.
WALL STREET is another Oliver Stone film that tells the truth about Wall Street. Stone RULES. YA GOTTA LOVE THIS GUY! I DO! He used to hire my black belt karate Amazon yoga teacher pal as a body guard.
ENEMY OF THE STATE - Tells it like it is. Love that Will Smith!
THE MATRIX FILMS - Drives home the point we've all been mentally comandeered on Kafkaesque, subliminal metaphoric levels. Planet's citizens are oblivious to fact we are hardwired into a system that uses us and none of us has a clue.
BRAZIL an oldie, pursues that theme.1984. AND 1984. CHILLING!
PADDY CHAYEFSKY's HOSPITAL AND NETWORK.
A FILM CRITIC GAVE US A LIST OF THE OTHER GREAT POLITICAL FILMS. READ his list:
Send me your favorite titles of 'tell it all' political films so that I can add them to the list. THINK of, brainstorm up the subjects not yet done, like NWO, THE OLIGARCH, plutocrat 13 families that run the DEATH AND ESCLAVITUDE INDUSTRIES of war toys, banking, the IMF. Ancient, reptilian-minded blue bloods, they run all those cigar chompin' politicos even, and presidents & prime ministers. This theme has never been touched!
INTELLIGENT people can write intelligent, knowing, prescient films. These minds exist and often they are in Hollywood and are already forgetting the truths and living la VIDA LOCA. Get yourself abstinant, clean, mean machine. Compete with them. Beat them. YOU have to compete with them. YOu have to research, saturate yourself with an understanding of Their Structure, Mechanations to the point that you can dream like ORWELL. Then write. You summon up the visions as you meditate. That's how to write screenplays. VISIONING.
So don't volunteer to be a mushroom anymore. i.e. living in the dark and being fed nothing but manure. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Get real about what is happening on this planet, about the Power Cabals.THE DEATH INDUSTRY. Listen to FM radio at NIGHT, where talk shows a.) are simulcast on the INTERNET, and b.) deal with this. At bedtime, put a tape deck on to record a few hours that you can't be there to get. Listen to it by day. CATCH up with the 20th century so you can be on top of media in the 21st.
NEW CONSPIRACY THEORIES abound. Did you know the Military had hit squads that went into prison camps in North Vietnam, taking out dozens of G.I. defectors with sarin gas? CNN had it on --then Ted Turner fired those two producers. But books already had been published on this story. MIKE LEVINE, Ex DEA agent had the authoress on his show. She was a 20/20 segment producer who'd stumbled on story. OUR DEFECTORS GOT OFFED by OUR COVERTS. Talk about FINDING PRIVATE RYAN, this was GASSING PRIVATE RYAN. Wake up and smell the coffee. I mean smell the Sarin gas!
Do you think your life is in better shape after a costly war (Nam) waged to get the richest oil fields on the planet, in south china sea just off coast of nam? NO. We were wasted by that war so you as a writer gotta know where the bones are buried. The graveyards where TRUTH LIES fulminating! Then came Two Iraq wars. Our job / salary /education/ medical/ money was taken by the GOV. That cash COULD HAVE BEEN used to pay for a great education a great condo or apartment in our own name, a great car, credit, trips. Now you can't even afford an apartment in the barrio and only by tolerating a roomie. SQUALID.
Things have changed in USA. before that war a man could work, keep his wife at home with kids and STILL BUY a house. Now? Ain't happenin' bro. What happened to the money situation you're in? You're in it and don't even KNOW it because you're like a lobster in a pot brought to a slow boil. You're going 'duhhhhh, jeez it's warm in here, wonder what's up?'
