Spielberg resigned as artistic adviser to the Beijing 2008 Olympic games “at China’s complicity in humanitarian crisis in Darfur”. So it is said the “boycott” theme is floating around western media now.
I always thought it is stupid to connect politics and Olympics games. But on the other hand, if hollywood boycott Beijing 2008, what will this game turn out to be if:
Chinese government boycott import of Hollywood movies.
Chinese people boycott Hollywood movies and continue to buy pirate DVD?
Who’s gonna win?
The Darfur thing is kind stupid too. Big powers are all just trying to maximize their interests. Plus, I really doubt how dependent we are on Spielberg as the sort of art director.
