People post more than graffiti and stickers in random places in NYC. You can spot fliers for guitar lessons, guys with vans that want to help you move, and police department notifications stapled and taped to parking meters, street lights, trees, bike ramps, and anything else that's rooted in place. I spotted this on a street lamp on West 3rd and Sullivan. Not sure if you can read the whole thing, but it seems to be a rambling rant claiming facts without sources. According to this, Hollywood (specifically Tom Hanks and James Cameron) is willfully ignoring genocide. I guess the author of this flier wants a movie made about Korea and communist China. But, I can't begin to imagine how many genocides have yet to have major motion pictures made about them. Central America, the former Yugoslavia, Africa; there are entire continents that deserve to have their stories told. But the sad truth is that most people don't care, or can only be depressed by so many movies in one year. I wonder if this person isn't simply a jilted actor or screenwriter. But, I put this question to you. Do the atrocities performed by the Chinese in Korea deserve a movie treatment? Would you watch such a film?
