Serbophobia: American propaganda in TV , movies,

[ButlerKing]

The international media and large film production companies have been on an ANTI-SERB campaign for years. It is a totally one-sided smear campaign to help justify intervention in their affairs! This is one reason that Serbophobia is thriving today. Here are a few Hollywood films from 1999-today that portray an anti-Serb slant…..

Layer Cake (2004)

A successful cocaine dealer has one final mission by the mafia boss. He is to find a missing princess. A Serb portrays a criminal gangster. This one isn’t as bad but still portrays Serbs in a bad light.

Hunting Party (2007)

Richard Gere and Terrence Howard play a journalist and a cameraman that embark on an unauthorized mission to find the #1 most wanted Serbian war criminal that is hiding out in the Bosnian wilderness.

In The Land of Blood and Honey (2011)

This is the most recent film that was released in late 2011. It is directed by Angelina Jolie who has emerged as a strong critic of Serbian atrocities. This film is shot during the Bosnian war. Danijel, a soldier fighting for the Serbs, re-encounters Alija, a Bosnian who is being held captive in his camp. There are many graphic scenes of rape and abuse by Serbs.

Killing Season (scheduled release 2014)

This is a film set to be released in 2014. It stars Robert DeNiro… he plays a former American soldier that fought on the front lines in the Bosnian war. He has terrible memories of the atrocities he saw and moves to a secluded cabin in the Rocky mountains. John Travola plays a Serb soldier that is hell bent on revenge. He searches for DeNiro and finds him in the Rockies. They go on a long chase through the dense and rugged terrain trying to eliminate each other.

These are just sampling of what Hollywood can do. There are many instances of anti-serb propaganda in tv series but didn’t have time to list them. Remember that there is always two sides to every story!!! Don’t blindly follow one side!!! Open your eyes and get to know the WHOLE story!!! My next post will focus on all the atrocities, bigotry,genocide and ethnic cleansing that the Serbian population has gone through from its beginning.

Serbia’s Ambassador to the World has the story:

http://www.ambassador-serbia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Lies-and-Anti-Serbian-propaganda-in-The-New-York-Times.jpg

By Karl Haudbourg

An article written by David L. Phillips with the headline ‘How to Heal Balkan Wounds for Good’ talking about Albanians, Serbs and Kosovo, was published in the New York Times on May 10, 2013, and was published on the New York Times website on May 9, 2013, reaching millions of Americans (the NYT website is America’s most popular news site, receiving more than 30 million unique visitors per month). Well, what millions of American people have read is false Anti-Serbian propaganda and lies:
An overwhelming majority of Albanians support democracy, human rights and free markets. They are pro-Western and pro-NATO. In contrast, Serbs have had a history of intolerance against non-Serbs and Muslims, and of aggression and forced expulsions to create a Serbian homeland in territories where they have historical claims — notably Kosovo, but also Bosnia.
What on earth is this hateful anti-Serbian propaganda masquerading as “opinion” is doing in the New York Times? I know. Albanians are the good guys, supporting democracy, human rights, free markets and are pro-Western and pro-NATO. And Serbs are “in contrast” the bad guys not supporting democracy and human rights. It’s a lie of course. Serbia is a modern European democratic country supporting human rights and free markets. And the ‘bad’ Serbs “in contrast” to the ‘good’ Albanians “have had a history of intolerance against non-Serbs and Muslims, and of aggression and forced expulsions.” Typical anti-Serbian propaganda.

What the guy wrote is 100% true, in every movie there was never once a Serbian hero, they are always portrayed as villians and bad people. While the Americans are always the hero.

There is so much political propaganda in the movies, they are tools used for propaganda.

[ChocolateFace]

Maybe if Serbs didn't commit one of the greatest genocides in recent memory movies wouldn't be based off of them

[ButlerKing]

That's true, but the thing with American is that they always uses these opportunities to make themselves as heroes of the world. With these movies it improves their justification to invade other territories like in Iraq.

The propaganda part about these movies is that it's always about Americans doing something heroric for other nations and people, why can't it be a Bosnian, Albanian, Serb for once? I'm sure there are both good and bad guys in the Serbian military but in every movie that protrayed them makes them look like animals and villains.

In friday we mark anniversary of this:

Pionirska Street fire on the Serb holiday of "Vidovdan", on 14 June 1992, a group of 70 Bosniak civilians, mainly from the village of Koritnik, were locked en masse in a house on Pionirska Street, Višegrad. A grenade was then thrown inside, killing some. The house was then set ablaze and the occupants were left to burn to death. 59 people were killed but a handful survived. All of the survivors who were still alive came to testify before the ICTY.

It's time to somebody make movie of this events, when people around the world see that big victory of brave Serbian soldiers they will understood that they have been influenced by anti Serb propaganda all the time.

It's just like Russians, in almost every American movie related with them it's always gives the impression Russian government, soldiers and many of it's supporters are dangerous, war criminals, corrupt and backward people who can never save the world while Americans tend to be portrayed as heroes who saved countless millions of lives and protecting the world from destructions.

[RussiaPrussia]

just shows how fucking pathetic the US are and americans sucking this up without asking themselves if they have any morals or dignity to reality

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/80/Serbia_USA_Locator.svg

a Nation with 315 Million people against a tiny nation with 7 Million making still films portraying Serbians as shit and evil and so on and they keep producing stuff.

i thpught they do this because russia is strong and is more powerfull but it seems they simple hate anyone they had fought with for the rest of their life even tiny nations like serbia

[ButlerKing]

Well they do show Russians as a very powerful enemy but they can never be heroes only bad people.

[Tropico]

Americans are the heroes in their own movies, duh. And anyone who's ever wronged them is the enemy (Soviet Russia, Communist Asians like N. Korea, Etc). It's a countries patriotism.

[SkyBurn]

I doubt many Americans could put Serbia on a map, let alone know remember anything bad about them.

[ButlerKing]

I believe games have propaganda too but it's more honest than films when it comes to Americans ( apart from the exaggerations of fighting sequence and powers they have). In these video game produced by Konami " Metal Gear 2 " and " Metal Gear 3 " it shows Russians as not being as evil and some were rather heroic, but the story was mostly about them being obsess with making their country more powerful than U.S but at the time was seen as a danger to Americans. However Americans were not any better, the game reveal they hide many dirty lies and sacrificed people and blame on the russians, when they themselves were covering up their own acquire for world destructive weapons for themselves.

Only Solid snake and his companions were good guys. And Big Boss (father of solid snake ) and The Boss were Americans who defected to the Russians to fight the Americans.

[Arbërori]

I don't think Americans even care. It's the Serb's fault for attaining this stereotype, unfortunately.

[Methmatician]

I don't see the Arabs complaining.

They riot and burn U.S embassay, know what I mean?

It's not in response to them being demonised in American films though. That's been going on for almost 60 years now. They protest American influence in their countries.

Arabs and Muslims always talks about American propaganda 9/11

[Methmatician]

Yes, whackjobs. The average Arab could care less what some director in America makes a film about. No one should be complaining about a certain group being the 'bad guys'. There will always be a movie with a different group of bad guys.

Only that Americans will never be the bad guys. When was the last time in Hollywood movies that Americans were portrayed as bad people?

[Stanley]

When was the last time in Hollywood movies that Americans were portrayed as bad people?

In every Hollywood movie ever made.

[ButlerKing]

That is bullshit

[Methmatician]

A more recent film would be The Expendables.

[Methmatician]

America/Americans are the butt of many jokes in many films, English and non-English.

[Methmatician]

In Bruges seems to make fun of Americans a lot, as an example.

What is a Serbian movie made by Serbs which made Americans into heroes?

[sevruk]

Americunts...

[Gospodine]

It stars Robert DeNiro… he plays a former American soldier that fought on the front lines in the Bosnian war.

Lolwut?

How do you fight on the front lines from 10,000 metres in orbit in the cockpit of a $100 million dollar fighter-bomber?

De Niro has been starring in so many pay-cheque movies as of late, it's really staining his legacy.

[Drawing-slim]

Hollywood and the American public for the most part is attracted to great crimes, horrific real crimes.
Killing 8500 unarmed boys and old men in the middle of day light in cold blood will of course get the attention of the american public.

The movie "taken" however, is a total lie, propaganda against Albanians in the most twisted level. Also it is a bigger and more popular movie than all these "anti Serbian movies" combine.

Serb well-documented crimes killing systematically and crying victim it's a funny site. Albanians while being innocent and less bitching.
Need I explain to you morons who is the bigger guy here!
