FAQ
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list is not made public. The names are not known to us. Here's why this matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. Thus, they would leave the industry and studios will lose money. Which means they'd cut back on spending money on movies. This would result in fewer opportunities available for blacklisted filmmakers. This could lead to them going bankrupt.
This could result in even more victims.
In short, when someone tries to make an oscar winning movie, they might be asked to sign a contract saying they won't speak publicly against their employers. Any director or producer who would like to be nominated for an award is subject to the same rules.
That's why you hear stories about how producers pressure directors to remove scenes from their films. Directors threaten to abandon projects that don’t conform to their vision.
This is why there is a Hollywood blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. This is bad news for anyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. It's been a struggle to get their names cleared.
This is unacceptable behavior and must be stopped. We must ensure that everyone has the right to express themselves freely.
Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Hollywood blacklist.
Why do actors end up on the blacklist?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. Actors don't really care about making money. Actors love acting and storytelling. If you are an actor, you will most likely put yourself out there.
You might even go to auditions where you're told that you're too old, too young, or not right for the role. Or you might audition for a movie and lose out to another person. It happens all the times.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. People may tell you that your makeup looks terrible and you shouldn't use it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. They usually want you sound better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors often feel like they've failed if they're told they did something wrong. But they're not guilty of anything.
They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. And sometimes, no matter how hard they try, they don't fit the bill.
There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Still, others say that actors are cheaters.
Whatever the reason, it's important to realize that you will not get blacklisted if you keep trying. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.
You will eventually succeed if you keep trying.
What are some dark secrets in Hollywood?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
There are other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on the industry. There are companies like the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), who sets film ratings and the RIAA, which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. These large corporations control the majority of major film studios and television networks.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, embrace them. Because they give us information that allows us to make better decisions.
They tell us what movies will likely succeed, what songs will be popular, and what books will best sell.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
Because we can trust them, we can ignore their advice when it conflicts with our tastes.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
And see why they're so important.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
The answer to that question may shock you. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. It was also known as the City of Destruction according to the Bible.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One small New York State town with just 1,200 people vanished. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others believe that aliens took it.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost forever. They had just moved to a new town.
A website is available to track the disappearance and recovery of Zugspitz, which was lost in the Great Depression.
You might be wondering where this town went. It's actually in Switzerland!
Zugspitze is located on the border between Germany and Austria. The lake Lake Zugspitze is just beyond the mountain's summit.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that so many towns have vanished, but some remain. Is it possible that some towns disappear and others are preserved? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What causes a community to disappear? How can one place vanish from existence?
There are several theories behind the disappearing of towns. One theory suggests that a community disappears when all of its buildings are removed. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. A third theory states that the town didn't exist at all.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
