Hollywood

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2006)

Hollywood, Hollywood. You've been doing this since the beginning. Truth or vampire? Beautiful, beautiful people. Don't know the beautiful Africans. Do know beautiful DeCaprio and Connely.
Sierra Leone is peaceful now. Is this story 4-5 years out of date? I've heard a lot of it. Have you? Blood diamonds. "Conflict" diamonds. Inflated diamond market. Child soldiers. Rape. Civil war.
The white boy dies defending the black folk. Hollywood ending for the African family, reunited--with money. The WB just gets to redeem his soul in his only, and I do mean ONLY, selfless act. Gets the tears of a cute little innocent white girl.
Abysmlly poor Africa. Beautiful Africa.
Casual murder. Snuff film. Hey. American film.
Too little, too late? Music. Kick your ass around.
Some stories just have to hurt too much. HW can't bring itself to quite tell them.
