And now the son

[gilliam]

I know I sound like a broken record, but as someone who has spent most of my adult life working in the film industry, I remain appalled at the silence of my colleagues over the murder of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh. Doesn’t it mean anything to Hollywood that a director was butchered in the streets for his work? Where’s the Director’s Guild on this? (big silence) Well, maybe the latest news that Van Gogh’s fourteen-year old son is being beaten will wake them up… A ver.

I read that his murderer was convicted. I think the film people aren’t taking a stand because they are afraid. They only take stands on issues which don’t bite back.
