Filmmakers feel they have to insert gratuitous suspense and violence.George Jochnowitzhttp://www.jochnowitz.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873837983794172904.post-53199961708738179412010-02-16T12:05:53.851-08:002010-02-16T12:05:53.851-08:00George: you watched a movie?George: you watched a movie?Uzi Silberhttp://americanames.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873837983794172904.post-33175437281580255452010-02-15T11:04:58.519-08:002010-02-15T11:04:58.519-08:00The fact that so much anti-Israel journalism arise...The fact that so much anti-Israel journalism arises within Israel is the strongest possible evidence that Israel is a democratic state. Has anyone heard of pro-Israel journalism appearing within the Arab world?<br />On February 14, I saw EYES WIDE OPEN at the Cinema Village in New York. It is a balanced, thoughtful movie about homosexuality within an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Jerusalem. The portrayal of this community was both positive and negative, although ultimately quite negative. It is very much to Israel's credit that interesting, exploratory works of art about such conflicts are part of the variety and depth of Israel's culture.George Jochnowitzhttp://www.jochnowitz.netnoreply@blogger.com
