I have a scoop for you: the next film Mission impossible With Tom Cruise will be fully shot in Epcot, the Disney world International Pavillons section in Florida.
Tom Cruise will climb the false Eiffel Tower of the French Pavilion. Then, he will circulate on a motorcycle in the middle of the false cardboard alleys of the Italian pavilion. What do you want? Trump decided that all American films should be made in USA And that he was going to impose the films produced abroad at the rate of 100%prices. In MIT (Trump’s imaginary world), films made abroad “threaten national security”. But the American president is a bad shooter. Thinking of shooting the enemy, he pulled himself in the foot.
Big anything
I give you an example of the absurdity of Trump’s decision.
This week, the American president decreed that the United States would now celebrate May 8 as a national holiday on the end of the Second World War. He said: “Many of our allies and friends are already celebrating on May 8”, but America must do the same, because “we have done more than any other country, by far, to obtain a victorious result”.
Trump farts the suspenders as if there were only the Americans who had fought the Nazis, an affront for the Canadian soldiers who died in Normandy, among others.
But if Trump is so proud of the role played by United States of AmericaI have a little question for him.
During the celebrations of May 8, what films would he want to show to underline the exceptional American contribution to victory? Those shot in Germany, France, Poland … or those shot in Wyoming and Kansas? How can we talk about American glory in victory without showing the ravages of Nazism … in Europe?
Saving Private Ryan (You have to save soldier Ryan) (1998) is one of the most powerful films I have seen on the landing, the famous D-Day. I still have chills every time I think of the face of young American soldiers who died in front of German fire. The film was shot in Ireland and England.
-The Longest Day (1962), featuring Sean Connery, Robert Mitchum, Henry Fonda and John Wayne, also focused on the landing. We cannot imagine more beautiful skewer of real American heroes. He was filmed in Sainte-Mère-Église, Cricqueville-en-Bessin, at the Château de Chantilly, in France.
However, these two films would have been struck by a price of 100% if they had been made today. And Schindler’s List? And the countless films on Pearl Harbor?
The question that kills
But why does Trump act like this?
For Roger Frappier, the producer of Decline of the American Empire (Denys Arcand’s film), Trump is just angry that the Hollywood environment was pro -democrats in the last elections.
This is an explanation.
Perhaps also that Trump has never forgiven in the middle of cinema to have produced the excellent film The Apprenticewho traces his journey in a Machiavellian way.
Or maybe there is a simpler explanation. What Trump does not like in the notion of film done abroad is the word “foreigner”.
