ONE love, blood, life
How long before some money-lusting Hollywood producer decides to make a TV movie about this tragedy to make money, just like they do with everything else? Call me cynical, but I say a script is already being worked out and casting agents are well into the brainstorming stage.
Not that I agree with it. I find it appalling the way people in Hollywood feel the need to make a TV movie about everything that ever happens. I stress 'TV' movie, because I actually wouldn't have any problem with a real, theatrical film. Why? Because the primary motive for a TV movie would be money, and I find the idea of capitalizing off this tragedy and using these peoples' death and/or suffering to make money, to be sickening. However, money wouldn't be the only motive for a big-screen film. I'm not naive enough to say it wouldn't be A motive, but it wouldn't be the ONLY motive. Look at Hotel Rowanda. I haven't even seen it but I already know it's academy award good just from looking at a few clips. They have real, GOOD/GREAT actors in there, and a polished script that no doubt is as accurate to history as it could have been under the circumstances. I'm sure that film will touch people. And that's the difference here. Whereas a TV would likely star actors who can't find work in real movies, and be based on a very average script, a real film would include the things mentioned above, great acting and a script that had effort put into it, not to mention having a film director behind the camera, etc etc. The point of all of that is that in the end, it would at least be a final product that would, in its quality and in the effort put into the project to make it result in a product of that quality, show respect to both those killed and those who surived this thing. And when concerning a subject like this, that should be the first motive for making such a film, with money being a #2 or #3. And that simply would not happen with a TV movie. End rant.
