Remember Conan the Barbarian?
Remember Jaws? (A shark has dead eyes, a doll’s eyes, until he BITES you..!)
Remember Red Dawn?
John Milius was one of the most productive and famous screenwriters in Hollywood —his name there was once almost as big as that of Steven Speilberg. But here’s the weird thing:
He’s a conservative.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was Red Dawn:
Hollywood freaking BLACKLISTED him —he had no work, NO ONE would hire him. That movie totally mortified them, angered them.
Later he was so poor he couldn’t pay his son’s Law School tuition —his buddy had to pay it.
He later had a stroke, and that shut him up permanently.
LIBS AND HOLLYWOOD IS **FINE** WITH CENSORSHIP AND BLACKLISTING.
Hey why are the overwhelming majority of the names of the members of Friends of Abe (Hollywood Conservatives) SECRET...?
Cuz your career is freaking OVER if they find out about you being a Conservative in Hollywood.
Elia Kazan directed “On the Waterfront” with Marlon Brando —it was a tour de force.
Hollywood freaking HATED (and still does hate) him.
He exposed the criminal nature of some labor unions.
Red dawn imho was a wonderful movie haunting I watch it when ever it comes on
Really ?
Holy cow.............thanks for that info; loved RED DAWN !
Milius was cheated by his friend and wrote the script for Clear And Present Danger ten years after Red Dawn.
You may already know, but there’s a terrific documentary about him, “Milius” from 2013.
