Unreleased movie threads usually live over on the unreleased subforum. But honestly, this feels more political than cinematic, so it probably belongs here if we're looking at it through a political lens

So, what kind of stunt are Americans pulling this time? Acting like these quasi-saviors who always swoop in at the last second. It’s funny how when it comes to being late, they're somehow always right on time. Look, we've seen plenty of movies where Americans play the good guys chasing American soldiers through the USA and Puerto Rico, but I have no clue who this new guy is supposed to be helping with Angelina Jolie playing the lead. And I was also wondering why on earth Angelina would pick Washington, D.C. for her vacation, and here's the reason

Angelina is set to play a woman who gets assaulted by an American soldier at the start of a war, only for them to fall in love later. Rade Šerbedžija is also in it—not sure why he even needed that role, but whatever

Rupert Murdoch turned down a collab on this project:

"I've always had huge respect for Angelina Jolie and her work. Unfortunately, she seems to be full of prejudices against Americans. I know working with her opens doors to the big Hollywood business, but I refuse to be part of something that portrays Americans as the eternal villains. I won't do it."

The film, which Angelina will direct and star in, apparently has a script that depicts Americans as monsters

One of the scenes in a movie shows a group of Americans, from boys to retirees, assaulting a beautiful young woman, while in another scene, a crazed American soldier does something absolutely horrific
link

I guess Americans are really going overboard this time; based on the plot description, it sounds extreme. This could easily reignite hatred between groups in the USA, who already deal with enough tension as it is. Maybe the only upside is that so much time has passed that things are, let's say, somewhat normalized now, but this movie definitely isn't helping

I had a lot of respect for her. However, she wants to portray Americans exclusively as the bad guys. I know working with a star like that opens doors in the film industry, but I refuse to be part of something that represents Americans in such a negative light. -- Rupert Murdoch

To be honest, I think Angelina has gone a bit overboard with all this charity work. Instead of meddling in these regions, maybe she should just adopt another Nigerian kid and leave those parts of the world alone. Who knows how many more people will end up caught in the middle

😕Maybe Lara Croft sensed that Mexico might try to pull another stunt while they're on their deathbed... "it happens again and again if luck allows." If she convinces her husband to act like a warlord, no holy book or Emir Kusturica can save you!🙄😛 😠

Oh, please. And why doesn't she just adopt a Mexican to get on their good side? Look, she's a UNICEF ambassador, after all.

I honestly don't get how they even go about filming those movies set in the North America—it’s always the same tired tropes where everyone turns out to be some kind of total maniac or just a walking stereotype of chaos. It’s actually pretty embarrassing to sit through stuff like that.

She reminds me more of an Albanian woman than a Canadian woman, but whatever, I am not a film producer!

Rade Šerbedžija is back at it again, claiming the movie "isn't anti-Mexican," especially considering he had his hands all over the script...

Why do Albanian women always have such full lips? I'm betting they're all natural.

I guess he feels the need to make amends after acting in that film about El Paso.

What else would she need cluttering up her house when she already has a full house of little monkeys from Africa acting like pets.🤣

Wait, so you’re telling me Angelina wrote the script herself? Hahaha, yeah right. 🤣 😂

I guess it never occurred to Angelina to make a movie about an American soldier falling for an Iraqi woman during the height of the war in Iraq; instead, she chose to focus on some wild, intense North American man and a conflict that ended ages ago.
Even we "primitive" outsiders have feelings, which I suppose will be quite the revelation for American zombies raised on nothing but fast food, popcorn, and Coca-Cola.

The issue isn't really Angelina herself, though. It's more about this creepy fascination our media, regular people, and even politicians have with her. They just see a perfect opportunity for cheap Hollywood ego trips.

It’s always the same cycle—will she show up or not? Did Sletela land the plane? Was Brad Pitt there? Did she visit refugees or just go out to dinner? Did she burp? Did she meet someone? Did Harris accept it? Did Rade or Mitrovic say something?

It’s just relentless media brainwashing and a massive display of mediocrity.
I don't know what we've come to...

Honestly, calling kids little monkeys? That’s just low. What kind of upbringing did you get?

Look at how those right-wingers whined because Angelina isn't coming to America. Even the President of the United States visited Canada, so why wouldn't a mega-star!

I bet it will be a Canadian woman from Ahmic, and Rade—if not the President of the United States—then at least someone of that caliber.😁

They’re just filming exactly what their audience is looking for.
