holocaust is getting lamer

Ricky Gervais made an interesting remark during Golden Globe awards. While on stage he joked to Winslet "Told you. Make a holocaust movie & you'll win". True enough. Not that Ricky can predict such outcome. That is too scary and not to mention complete bollocks. Don't think his mental ability can be stretched that far. Assuming he has mental ability to begin with.

Holocaust theme has been one of the most popular choices in Hollywood movie. Most of them received highest cinematic recognition possible e.g. Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice. She won an Oscar for that. Adrian Brody in The Pianist. He won as well. Schindler's List. Defiance was nominated at Golden Globe. And now Winslet in The Reader. Bottom line is holocaust is a fast track to a Western-applauded movie. Which brings me to my second major point.It is overdone. In all way possible to the point that it is getting lame. OK, Jews suffered horribly under the Nazi regime. So what? Everybody else was too, not just Jews.

I have a better suggestion. Why not make a movie of Jews as Nazi? God forbid they call themselves that but they most definitely do act like one now. NB Gaza, Jerusalem, West Bank, Lebanon. That is a hotter topic. Ain't that cool? Film title like 'Hunted Becomes The Hunter' or 'The Oppressed Oppressing Not The Opressor But The Nearest People They Can Find'. Make one movie on that, you'll definitely topple Godfather as the best film of all time. And Oscar award can kiss your ass. Better yet if you can find some genius IT nerd who can make it a graphic motion of kids burnt alive. Universities will start quoting your name in their IT textbook. Make that movie, and I'll definitely marry you. Even if you're a woman.
