War is far from entertaining, but Hollywood producers found a way to make a living off of a scary and dangerous situation. These producers turn war into something interesting and engaging. To keep the audiences attention producers have to add the right amount of excitement to keep them on the edge of their seats. Do you think that the producers are wrong for being creative? I think it is a smart and profitable idea. The place where I do not agree is the fact these same producers who are profiting off of war stories do not equally display the soldier image among the minority groups.
Where is respect that our black soldiers deserve? Can the spotlight not be shared equally? There is a line of tolerance that I believe exists and Hollywood crosses this line. The handful of movies that have been created around black soldiers have had tragic endings. There should be a wide variety of scenarios just as there are in white-soldier war movies. Hollywood producers have lost a little of my respect after I have researched more into this topic.
You have a good point here. In some cases I do think the producers are wrong for being creative because of the lack of accuracy. However I never really got the feel of the whole race thing involved with these war films and such. But now that I think about it, out of all of the war movies I have watched the main star is a white man. Which I do not mind, but every man or woman in the military is not white.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly my point. Not every soldier is a white man and all types of soldiers deserve the spotlight every once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed this also. In most war movies I've seen, there has mainly been white males. I believe that minorities and even women should be included because both are fighting for our country at this moment, and it is not fair that we do not recognize it.
