hollywood has always relied on the native american. in its early days, the western was film's most popular genre, the cowboy its iconic hero and the indian its most reliable villain. native americans were threats, they were the enemy. the true story of native americans in the united states is one of marginalisation, poverty and extreme oppression, and the movies have done their part to support this, depicting them as at best props in a white man's heroic story, or at worst an antiquated race of people needing to be pushed aside. films that are made are what i call white saviour films, indian people, there might be native actors in them, there might be roles for native people, but they are not written and directed from the native perspective, and they are not our stories. it supports this idea of indians as victims. it is a very narrow perspective. if the stories themselves are narrow, the casting is even narrower. for decades at a time, it seems that most native american characters were only played by a single actor. following his perf

there has also been the move in the hollywood industry in the past in the hollywood industry in the pa st two in the hollywood industry in the past two decades making films catering for teenagers or segments of the populations which are very cookie cutter approaches to the film industry. perhaps those films...” like barry's suggestion that we should all get to vote. why can't we votes? there are already awards like that, the people's choice awards and that, the people's choice awards and that kind of thing. that exists. but john films whether they are for young people science—fiction, there has been an outcry of some of these films being excluded. and shape of water from last year. another point about social media and youtube. they are doing extremely well to marginalise those people from hollywood. saying that there are different ways of entertainment. either you listen to us and the new trends or you will be actually going to the drain. that is a message that social media and youtube and other forms of communication are trying to tell those people. nevertheless, eve ryo ne tell t

hollywood undercuts the reality and hollywood realism undercuts the reality of actual lives and it makes people doubt things that are completely act it. there's a strange relationship between realism and audience expectations or reality and audience expectations.'s new this gets precisely at this idea that hollywood can supplant history in some cases. this is how we think of some of these things because it is so powerful and easy to grasp on the big screen as opposed to reading them. >> a question to the table to your left lease. >> a couple of points i would like to comment on. how about when the japanese attacked pearl harbor put there was adverse audience reaction and there was not anybody in the japanese command known to americans back then. also at that time we were at the height of the cold war and the cuban missile crisis. to present anything negatively like that then would be something where they have gotten much co-op oration. private ryan comes along and we have won the cold war and we have won the 40th and 50th celebrations and people can more easily accept the darker side of

the west hollywood mayor pro tem said in a statement the west hollywood city council did not pass the resolution because donald trump is a conservative or a republican. earning a star on the hollywood walk of fame is an honor. but one who belittled and attacked minorities, immigrants, people with disabilities or women, the honor no longer exists. we can classify that mayor is someone who is anti-trump. some folks are in support of the president, mike says who cares? remove it, having his face i'm not rushmore is better anyway. another twitter user writing it is becoming obvious donald trump needs a chrome stainless steel star. hollywood walk of fame star has been destroyed twice since he became president, last time was two weeks ago with austin clay, he has been charged with felony vandalism, he could serve up to three years if convicted of that. rob: a slap on the wrist. todd: mighty ducks was one of my all-time favorites. what is going on now? >> if you're a fan of the mighty ducks you probably know shaun white who is making news again. you can see why. look at him in the 1997 movie

noise in hollywood. i recently sat down with bobby brown. look, let's be honest, for years like so many folks out there, i believed that bobby was the reason for whitney's demise. what we know is whitney's downfall was much more complicated and bobby got caught up in the whirlwind and madness. >> the first thing that jumped out was whitney's brother saying, bobby wasn't the one who was bringing the drugs in. he was a light weight. it wasn't bobby. it was us. >> i haven't seen the documentary, but i appreciate, you know, the truth being told. it brings calmness to my hard and my soul, you know, that i'm not looked at in that light anymore. >> what do you remember about this time? like you guys were so in love and you were this family. >> happiness. >> yeah. >> explain. >> it wasn't what everybody thinks it was. we were a loving couple. we were a loving family. you see, like i said, the ups and the downs. i'm not sugar coating anything in this move. >> bobby is speaking his own truth in the two-part mini s

trump's star isn't in west hollywood where they voted, it's in hollywood. and one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. west hollywood and hollywood are like virginia and west virginia, they're unrelated. [ laughter ] which means there's no reason for the west hollywood city council to be voting on this. this is like if your next-door neighbors voted for you to paint your house. your house. they didn't install his star, they didn't pay for his star. when the targets damaged, it doesn't cost them anything. this is none of their business. look, we get it, you don't like trump. why are you voting on this? this is our sidewalk, this is our filthy, disease-ridden, urine-soaked sidewalk. [ cheers and applause ] if you busy bodies want to remove something from it, how about you adopt one of the 12 drunken spidermen we have out there? [ laughter ] they'd be very happy in west hollywood. otherwise, stick to what you do best, west hollywood, selling pot to german tourists, okay? [ laughter ] you know who has a star right next to donald trump? kevin spacey. no

and in hollywood for the casting couch. and that is a hollywood sexual predator. and he was casting in france for the longest day. and that is a big part. and that is a historical ride and d- day and that is brought in the build up before and way of introducing the french resistance. they looked at the marketing of the longest day. and placed great emphasis on the scale of the film and how much money has been spent. and on the stars. eisenhower had the men and planes. it is a advance. and that is how it is staged for the day. it is an educational way. and that is deception that used for longest day. and that is stereotypes in the longest day. and how does it compare to other movies. >> and thus saving private ryan and part of the marketing of the longest day was the actors that are involved had gone through training and admired by the veterans on the set. and the film was a great success. and that is a lot of money. and it was part of america's collective memory. and that is stephen ambros recalled that he just gave up on talking about d- day and talking about the

a movie drawing big crowds and breaking racial barriers in hollywood. there are tens of thousands of people still stranded in the southern indian state of carola after days of heavy flooding there the worst monsoon floods there in a century and more than one hundred ninety people have died in just over a week but there is some good news the rains are easing and major roads have been cleared so help can get three hundred thomas reports from carola. right there is where the dry roads and the flood wall is again that is the spots to which all the rice some bottles of drinking water being rolls and you can see this big crowd essential forming a great conga line and then people are walking across here this is not normally a river this is the only dry land as you can see they hold on to this yellow rope that's been strung right across and they carry boxes and bags of water food and medicines across to about five hundred people who live two clauses in that direction now most people have chosen not to leave because although obviously this flood water is bad it'

it was a little bit too hollywood basically. there was a ransom note that appeared that was sent to the mother. which was this weird document that sounded like an old jimmy cagney movie and a highly educated treatise and other parts. they would say i'm sure you are wondering how we pulled off his kidnapping. we had sources inside the church. what real kidnapper would give police the clues that they need to find them? so when sister amy came back and told her story, it really corresponded very closely with this document which i think is obviously a fake document. if her story closely correlates with this fake document, i've got to conclude it was all collusion and she made it up. of course we don't know, the case was dropped. so there was no final judgment on that. but, you know, when i talked to some historians sometimes and say, you don't think this could have actually happened? they usually say, nah. there are people that believe it. the church believes it. and you know, they outnumber us. in many ways. >> they had a funeral f

forget politics and wars, hollywood is it. polly, you are in the media, who will sit on a chair in front of the television watching three hours of the oscars. in terms of the power of hollywood's, the moving of the dates to the beginning of february has caused ripples all over the world. the berlin film festival which is in the middle of february is worried about how that will affect them. the baftas which are always one or two weeks are saying they are going to move there is now. so it does have a ripple effect. thank you very much, that was terrific. that's it for dateline london for this week — we're back next week at the same time. goodbye. hello. a few heavy and thundery showers will continue to work eastwards and for monday, it is a day of sunny spells and showers ad if you catch them, they could be heavy and thundery. more sunshine on sunday with spells in northern ireland, outbreaks of rain easing from northern parts of scotland. once again the best of the sunshine for shetland. 18—19 the highest for scotland, 2a f

and now he is a hollywood star, and the last hollywood all asian cast movie was back in 1993. i have already booked my tickets for next week. from crazy rich asians to crazy rich asian food. when you go on holiday, you might be tempted to pick a country which has a cuisine that appeals to you. now, travel writers at lonely planet have compiled a list of the best 500 foodie experiences. three out of the top five come from asia, including malaysian curry, laksa soup in kuala lumpur, japanese sushi in tokyo, and thai som tum green papaya salad in bangkok. earlier i spoke to food writer evelyn chen and asked her what she made of the list. well, it is a fairly good list. very interesting, and asia is indeed coming out very strongly as a destination for food. however, coming out very strongly as a destination forfood. however, i wouldn't necessarily eat som tum destination forfood. however, i wouldn't necessarily eat som turn in bangkok or laksa in kuala lumpur, because we have very good laksa in singapore as well. chilli crab is in this list, in the top ten. singapore doesn't get e

how devastating, from the hollywood walk of fame. in part because of trump's "disturbing treatment of women." the movie is nonbinding, but the city council has no authority over the walk. let's take a look at the star is not targeted last night by the west hollywood city council. there we have bill cosby recently found guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman. then you have dozens of other similar allegations levied against bill cosby. there he is, kevin spacey. he's facing tons of accusations of sexual misconduct for more than ten people including multiple victims who were allegedly abused in their early teens. then you have brett ratner, he's been accused of multiple women of serious sexual misconduct and assault. jeffrey tambor and oliver stone, and many others, but west hollywood city council is saying, the vote has nothing to do with politics. finally tonight, the of the biggest trial of the century, the 2005 tax case of paul manafort. it has come to a close but not without a very tense moment between judge ellis and m

it's in -- at goldman sachs, it is not just hollywood. hollywood is where, why we pay attention. because they're bold faced names. and, that, that stands out. but, it's everywhere. i think that the fix -- is in. people are not -- women's -- women are not going to turn around and go back to the told way. >> i have to ask you. all over the place. and you rebutted it. very movingly. what is it, with rose mcgowan accused of you, of tacitly knowing and not saying. and all of these years that you worked, in some respect for harvey weinstein. >> i'm sure. i'm sure in many ways she wished, i knew. what happened to rose -- is unbearable. stick is a knife in everyone's heart. this man was allowed to continue the way he worked on people. over the bodies of women. he made a business over the bodies of women. and -- going forward, we have to support the, the survivors. figure out solutions. why, why, legislatively, it will never happen again. really we should have the era, the era will protect, all women, will make it, illegal. i've mean there is so many imbalances. but -- for rose i think i
