In Bohemian Rhapsody, references to Queen frontman Freddie Mercury's sexuality were removed from the version screened in China. In Top Gun 2, a Taiwanese flag that appeared on Tom Cruise's flight jacket in the first movie mysteriously disappears in trailer flashbacks. ![]() In Marvel's 2016 movie Dr Strange, a significant Tibetan character's role is whitewashed out and replaced by Tilda Swinton as a Celtic. In the damning document, titled Made in Hollywood, Censored by Beijing: The US Film Industry and Chinese Government Influence, PEN lists a number of examples of censorship. These include editing of dialogue, plot and casting. The extraordinary, shocking truth is that Hollywood isn't just silent in its critiques of the Chinese Communist Party, it is now actively stifling its own freedom of speech to appease them.Ī devastating 94-page report from non-profit literary and human rights group PEN published this week reveals the pathetic lengths US movie studios are going to in a desperate 'effort to avoid antagonizing Chinese officials'. Stars who tried to abuse Chinese President Xi Jinping in public like Hollywood actors abuse Trump would very swiftly find their acting careers summarily ended, and prison warders would be the only audience they would ever see again So, you might imagine that Hollywood would be among the very loudest voices in criticising China which has an appalling record on human rights, and is rife with racism, bigotry and rampant anti-LGBT homophobia – all the things liberals profess to despise. Stars who tried to abuse the Chinese president in public like Hollywood actors abuse Trump would very swiftly find their acting careers summarily ended, and prison warders would be the only audience they would ever see again. In fact, your speech can cost you your liberty. There's no such thing as free speech in China. That is entirely their prerogative because America is a democracy with the First Amendment to the Constitution strongly protecting an individual's right to free speech whether you're famous or not.īut what do you think would happen if the same actors all lived in China and spoke that way about President Xi?Ĭhina is a totalitarian state that doesn't tolerate such dissent. What Saldana SHOULD have apologised for was the dreadful movie itself which was one of Hollywood's all-time box office turkeys He is regularly trashed by actors on Twitter and red carpets and berated from awards show stages to raucous cheers. ![]() Ironically, top of woke Hollywood's hate list is President Trump, a man who never says sorry, and who they deem to be the world's worst sexist, racist, transphobic, authoritarian pig. Zoe Saldana tearfully apologised for not being black enough to play Nina Simone (what she SHOULD have apologised for was the dreadful movie itself which was one of Hollywood's all-time box office turkeys), and Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively begged for forgiveness for getting married in 2012 at a South Carolina wedding venue which had once been the site of a plantation 150 years ago. This week alone, there's been an outpouring of abject apologies from actors who've fallen short of the ultra-strict new woke cop rules and are now gripped in a pitiful orgy of self-loathing and hand-wringing about everything they've ever said, written, done and performed. Those who do now live in constant abject terror of being canceled. ![]() The self-righteous censorious bleating from that part of the world is so ferocious, unrelenting and aggressive that it's a wonder anyone is deemed morally suitable enough to work there. Morgan had stated that he did not believe a word the Duchess of Sussex said, and that he wouldn’t believe even if she’d 'read him a weather report.' As co-presenter Alex Beresford criticised his attitude, he stormed off the sets on air and said ‘I’m done.’Īs per reports, over 41,000 complaints were registered with the UK media watchdog on Piers Morgan’s comments and ITV, that produces Good Morning Britain, confirmed that they had accepted his decision to quit the show.There's nowhere more 'woke' than Hollywood. Meghan Markle, alongside Prince Harry, had told Oprah Winfrey about alleged racist attttudes from the Royal family over their child amid claims that the family did not 'protect' the two, and that her requests for mental health help amid suicidal tendecies were rejected. You should all possibly check how many times I’ve asked Piers to leave Meghan alone! ![]() Just reading the comments on my post about Piers last night(a lot of negativity).
