IS IT TRUE,"ACTRESSES ARE MORE THAN WOMEN..."

AND ACTORS ARE LESS THAN MEN"?...WORDS SUPPOSEDLY SPOKEN BY OSCAR WILDE... I DON'T BELIEVE IT, NOT BY A LONG SHOT, MAYBE IT WAS SAID BY SOME ACTRESS THAT HAD BEEN REJECTED BY A MALE ACTOR POSSIBLY? OR POSSIBLY SPOKEN BY A GAY MALE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN REJECTED BY A STRAIGHT MALE ACTOR...OR MAYBE I'M JUST WHISTLING IN THE DARK, WHO KNOWS?...ALWAYS LOOK AT LEAST BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN, AND DON'T FORGET THE RIM... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------RE:"ON BEING JULIA" A DELIGHTFUL FILM THAT JUST SO HAPPENED TO HAVE SOME DIALOGUE ABOUT "PROBING TONGUES" WHICH WAS A DESCRIPTION IN ONE OF MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, NEVER SAY, "NO WAY" ABOUT ANYTHING...THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY...ALSO IN THAT FILM, OF WHICH I HAD RECEIVED THE SCREENER, I REMEMBER THE SCENE WHERE THE ACTORS ON STAGE BEGIN TO SPOUT THEIR OWN DIALOGUE RATHER THAN WHAT THE PLAYWRIGHT HAD WRITTEN AND HAD INTENDED, AND THEY PRESENT THE PLAYWRIGHT AS A BABBLING BAFFOON, WHICH IS HOW HOLLYWOOD LIKES TO PRESENT WRITERS ANYWAY... CHECK IT OUT. THE PLAYWRIGHT FAINTS AFTER SEEING HIS PLAY, WHICH RESEMBLED NOTHING AS HE HAD WRITTEN IT. BE FOREWARNED THAT PARTICULARLY IN PLAYS, NO WORD OF DIALOGUE, PUNCUATION, OR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING, CAN BE CHANGED AT WILL BY ANYONE WITHOUT PERMISSION BY THE PLAYWRIGHT, AND I BELIEVE THE SAME SHOULD HOLD TRUE FOR ALL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, NOW THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE AWARE HOW MUCH WORK GOES IN TO BEING AN AUTHOR-WRITER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW EASILY THANKS TO THE INTERNET, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES CAN BE LIFTED AS EASILY AS GRABBING CANDY FROM A BABY. WE ALL KNOW THAT MOVIES ARE COLLABORATIVE, AND THE SCREENPLAY, CERTAINLY CAN BE IMPROVED UPON, THAT I AGREE. BUT NO CHANGES ALTERING THE SCREENPLAY, CAN BE DONE WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE SCREEN WRITER, IS WHAT I AM SUGGESTING. HOLLYWOOD ALWAYS HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH WRITERS-AUTHORS IN GENERAL, BECAUSE WE ARE THINKERS, AS WE MUST BE TO PROPERLY REPRESENT EACH CHARACTER TRUTHFULLY. IDEALLY, WRITERS AND DIRECTORS SHOULD COLLOBORATE AND ULTIMATELY EVERY ONE INVOLVED, JUST NOT ALL AT ONCE, AND SOME PRODUCERS FROM MY EXPERIENCE HAVE OFFERED VERY LITTLE CREATIVE SUPPORT. IN "CHOSEN SURVIVORS" FOR COLUMBIA STD FOR EXAMPLE, MY CHARACTER GETS RAPED BY THE JACKIE COOPER CHARACTER. KEEP IN MIND I WAS THE ONLY BLACK FEMALE IN THE FILM, ULTIMATELY TWO ACTORS, LINCOLN KILPATRICK AND ALEX CHORD CAME TO MY CHARACTER'S DEFENSE, PRESENTING THE "THORN IN THE SIDE" SO TO SPEAK, ABOUT HAVING THE ONLY BLACK FEMALE IN THE ENTIRE FILM RAPED BY A WHITE MALE, AND HIS CHARACTER, A BAD GUY TO BOOT. IN RESPECT TO SUTTON ROLEY THE DIRECTOR WHO LISTENED AND TO HIS CREDIT CHANGED THE COOPER CHARACTER ON THE ADVICE OF THE TWO ACTORS, SO HE'D BE RAPING A WHITE WOMAN. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, RAPE IS RAPE AND IT'S ALL BAD, YOU'RE RIGHT, WE'RE SPEAKING IN THE 70'S OF THE LAST CENTURY, AND IF THE RACIAL CLIMATE HAD BEEN IDEALLY SET IN OUR SOCIETY AT THE TIME, WHICH IT WASN'T, PERHAPS IF THE CHARACTERS WERE THREE DIMENSIONAL, WHICH THEY WEREN'T, IT MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE BETTER DIGESTED. THE POINT IS WHAT MESSAGE COULD BE CONSTRUED BY HAVING A WHITE MAN RAPE A BLACK WOMAN ON FILM AND HIM GETTING AWAY WITH IT...VIA THEIR CHARACTERS, NOT THE ACTUAL ACTORS OF COURSE?...THINK ABOUT IT..."TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" WHERE A BLACK MAN IS WRONGLY ACCUSED OF RAPING A WHITE WOMAN, AND THE CASTING OF THE FILM WAS BRILLIANT IN MY OPINION, ONE REASON IN PARTICULAR, THE WHITE WOMAN WAS EXTREMELY PLAIN LOOKING (CORRECT FOR HER CHARACTER, A PERSON WHO PROBABLY GETS LITTLE IF ANY ATTENTION AT ALL, SO WHAT BETTER TOOL THAN TO ACCUSE THE SYMBOL OF SEXUAL STRENGTH THAN A STRONG DARK BLACK MALE) THIS TOO WHICH WAS A MASTERPEICE BY CARSON MCCULLOGH I BELIEVE, WAS THE AUTHOR, THOUGH I COULD BE WRONG, I'M TERRIBLE WITH NAMES. THAT NOVEL SERVED THE PUBLIC BY EXPOSING FOR ONE, THE INDECENCY AND DESTRUCTION PROVOKED BY RACIAL HATRED. NOTHING CLOSE TO THAT PROBABLY WAS EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IN "CHOSEN SURVIVORS" WHICH BY THE WAY, THE FILM THAT THE ACTORS HAD SIGNED UP FOR, WAS NOTHING LIKE THE SCRIPT ORIGINALLY PRESENTED TO ME, A SOMEWHAT, OR MORE PRECISELY, "BAIT AND SWITCH". ANOTHER POINT IN REFERENCE TO HOW IMPORTANT ACTORS AND ACTRESSES ARE, AND HOW THEY ARE NOT "STUPID" AS IS REPUTED, BUT ARE USUALLY SMARTER THAN THE AVERAGE BEAR, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO CORRECT THE WAYWARD THRU LINE THAT EITHER WAS NOT INTENDED BY THE WRITER, OR SOMEONE'S RELATIVE WANTED A WRITING CREDIT, SO LET'S GIVE THEM A WRITING CREDIT AND SOME BUCKS. MANY REASONS WHY FILMS GO ASTRAY, AND USUALLY UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S BECAUSE OF THE GREED FACTOR, SO CALLED PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL THAT ARE ACTING IN THE CAPACITY OF AUTHORITY, AND WOULD BE BETTER SERVED BY DIRECTING TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AND PERFORMANCES BY STRONG HISPANIC ACTORS AND OTHER HUES, OUT SHINING THE SO CALLED WHITE STAR, WHICH MEANS THE ETHNIC CHARACTER IS GOING TO TAKE THE HIT AND BE THE VICTIM WHILE THE WHITE STAR LIVES TO HAVE ANOTHER HAPPY DAY... SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES ARE CONSTANTLY BEING PUT OUT THERE, THE SAME WITH MUSIC, AND ALL MEDIA WHICH MEANS YOU MUST ALWAYS QUESTION AND BE ON GUARD FOR BEING BRAIN WASHED TO ACCEPT WHO FAILS AND WHO WINS, EVEN IF THE SO CALLED TRUTH IS NOT ACCURATE, AS IN LIFE. FILMS HAD BECOME SO BAD THAT A FILM (OUT OF DETROIT) WHICH WILL GO UNMENTIONED WHICH HAD TWO LEADING LADIES, ONE WHITE, THE OTHER BLACK, TO MATCH THE HUE OF THEIR CORRESPONDING CHARACTER'S MALE COUNTER PART, HAD BOTH LEADING WOMEN KILLED OFF. I ALLEGE THE VISUAL WAS ABSOLUTELY INTENTIONAL AND WAS PROPOGANDA PRESENTED ON A HUGE SILVER SCREEN TO MINIMIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN, BY PUTTING US IN OUR PLACE. WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING? THINK ABOUT WHO WOULD BENEFIT, AND THIS ENTITY KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT FILM MAKING AND WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A MONEY MAKING FILM, YET THIS SAME ENTITY HAS THE POWER TO BLACK LIST, OR GRAY LIST ANY FILM, INCLUDING THE ACTORS, ACTRESSES, DIRECTORS, ETC.ETC.ETC. BY NOW YOU KNOW THE ANSWER AS TO WHO THIS GLOBAL ENTITY "BAD GUY" IS...DON'T CHA'? THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO STICK WITH ME ON THIS ONE, APPRECIATE IT!
