There was a time when Hollywood's top tier talent would work in the cause of Americanism and freedom. John Ford, George Stevens, John Huston, William Wyler and Frank Capra all did film work advancing America's interests in the fight against oppression, suppression and totalitarianism.
That was then. Now we have a Hollywood that works to undermine freedom and individual rights. The low state of film is a reflection of the morally depraved clowns making them. George Clooney wants to help German Chancellor Angela Merkel with the Muslim invasion. Perhaps he should turn Amal over to the mob -- get into the spirit of things.
The Berlin Film Festival will invite refugees in Germany to attend film screenings free of charge as part of its focus on immigration and the broader migrant crisis this year.
As AFP reported Thursday, the 66th iteration of the festival will feature at least a dozen films focusing on Europe's refugee crisis as nearly 80,000 refugees streamed into the German capital last year.... here
I hope the migrants crash the party the way they crashed New Year's Eve celebrations and carnival.
"George Clooney Meeting with Angela Merkel to Offer Hollywood Help During Refugee Crisis," Breitbart, February 11, 2016:
George Clooney will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday to discuss how Hollywood can play a role in resolving Europe's refugee crisis, the actor announced Thursday at the Berlin Film Festival.
Clooney's latest film, the Coen Brothers-directed Hail, Caesar!, will open the 66th annual Berlinale, which will focus on the themes of immigration and mass migration with a slate of at least a dozen films exploring the topic.
"I'm having a meeting with Angela Merkel tomorrow to talk about and ask what messages and what things we [in Hollywood] can do," Clooney told reporters during the first day of press conferences at the festival.
According to German weekly Der Spiegel, the actor also hopes to meet with refugees while he is in Berlin.
The Hail, Caesar! press conference -- also attended by the Coens and stars Channing Tatum, Josh Brolin, and Tilda Swinton -- was almost derailed when a reporter asked Clooney what he was doing, aside from making films, to help address Europe's refugee crisis.
"I spend a lot of time working on these things, and it's an odd thing to have someone stand up and say, 'What do you do?,'" Clooney replied. "That's fine, knock yourself out. I have gone to places that are very dangerous and I work a lot on these things."
After announcing his upcoming meeting with Merkel, Clooney turned on the reporter: "I'd like to know what you are doing to help the situation?"
Clooney was also asked whether a sequel would ever be made to his 2005 film Syriana, or whether he might produce any more films dealing with refugee crises.
"The unfortunate thing about the film community is we react to situations much more than we lead the way," the actor replied, according to the New York Daily News. "News stories have to continue to happen and then scripts are written and it takes a couple years before people are actually making films about it."
This year's Berlinale will feature a slate of films that examine the impact of refugee crises and mass migration, such as Italian director Gianfranco Rosi's Fire at Sea, a documentary about the Mediterranean island Lampedusa, which has served as an entry point for many fleeing refugees.
The festival has asked Berlin's nonprofit refugee aid organizations for volunteers to "accompany a refugee to a screening" free of charge. The festival will also host refugee-staffed food trucks at its Berlinale Street Food Market and donation drives at its gala events that will benefit organizations working to integrate refugees into German society.
Three-time Oscar-winner Meryl Streep will head the festival's jury, which will award one film the top Golden Bear prize and seven others the Silver Bear acting and technical achievement prizes.
The Berlin Film Festival runs through February 21.
Perhaps he will find time to meet some of the women raped by the "refugees".
Clooney is a twit who has the ability to memorize lines. Speaking extemporaneously he's lost.
Maybe he is thinking of roles to glorify the refugees’ image in the West?
Its cast includes George Clooney, Josh Brolin, Ralph Fiennes, Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton. Critics have called it a brilliant paean to Hollywoods golden age. But the Coen brothers new period comedy, Hail, Caesar!, has bombed at the US box office, with the lowest opening haul of any major release in the Oscar-winning duos career.
I’ve seen the tv adds for Clooney’s new movie about Caesar and can’t figure out what it is about. And I find no reason in the ads as to why I should go out to actually see it.
Maybe Hollywood will let the immigrants move into their houses, seeing as they have many bedrooms which need filling.
My suggestion to the hypocrite is to move them into his mansion of he cares so much about them. Phoney fakes and frauds
Clooney is a crap actor and I would not use my money to see him.
Actually I never go to the movies anyway , because I hate giving my money to crap.
She cares about the plight of her fellow Arab, that's why her family left Lebanon and settled in America.
George Clooney is a nim-nod actor who thinks he can influence the planet.
Merkel WAS a leader who has destroyed her civilization.
The two deserve to consult with each other...
It’s perfectly fine with me if he personally wants to put his own head on the chopping block, and his own way of life at risk, but he has no right to put the lives of others at risk. Why doesn’t he go to Syria, or Iraq, and personally meet with ISIS and ask them to stop making these people into refugees.
Hang on.
What about The Searchers, A New Leaf, The Black Stallion, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers?
We mustn't overreact.
The movie has been rightfully panned by the reviewers.
Looney Clooney, your are a minstrel, a step above a puppet in a side show. Typical to Hollywood's snobbery, you are steeped in your own self-importance. Your arrogance is larger than your stupidity. Let leaders lead, let actors pretend.
Merkel: Bitte, Herr Clooney for your generosity. You can take all of them. (Du bist ein Scheisskopf).
Want to help Georgie Porgie? Your Italian Villa could house plenty of refugees, put up or shut up.
All of Hollywood should go and live in among the people of ordinary means. Patrol the streets at night. Keep the young girls and women (and boys, for that matter) safe. They should also spend some time at the once-lovely pools and enjoy the lewd and disgusting behaviour of the migrants. On second thought, they might enjoy it.
Just say “nein.”
Hollyweirdo, CA is indeed the land of fruits and nuts.
Clooney is providing girls and marijuana?
Open your doors, George, And offer up to share your wife, too...that way you can really empathize with all involved.
