However Bosnian press reported the movie would be a love story between a Muslim victim and her rapist, a Serb, causing outrage among victims' groups. They no longer have the authorization or licence to shoot in Bosnia.
The culture minister said that while he could not stop the film from being shot somewhere else, revoking the filming licence was a way to "express our disapproval for the shooting of a movie which does not tell the truth and hurts a large number of victims".
Jolie has already started shooting the film in Hungary and was planning to continue it in Bosnia. According to Bosnian actress Zana Marjanovic, who has landed the lead in the movie, the film is "an epic drama against the backdrop of the 1992-92 Bosnian war". But women's war victims groups were up in arms over the film's reported subject of a rapist and his victim falling in love.
"This is misleading history. Among thousands of testimonies by women raped during the war, there is not a single one that tells of a love story between a victim and her rapist," Bakira Hasecic, the head of the "Women victims of war" association in Sarajevo stated. "We will not allow anyone to falsify our pain," she added.
International organizations have estimated that thousands of women were raped during the Bosnian war. In February 2001, the UN war crimes court for the former Yugoslavia convicted three Bosnian Serbs for crimes against humanity and war crimes after they were found guilty of rape and forced prostitution of Bosnian Muslim women in the southeastern town of Foca. The verdict marked the first time an international court had ruled that rape was a crime against humanity.
Better do a rewrite Angie and try to make it fast...Crew, production people,actors all standing around twiddling their thumbs... Money down the toilet. And try to be a little more sensitive to rape victims or any victims in future.
Hi Nan, how are the kids?? All asleep?? Or is Gilly roaming around??
ReplyDeleteHi Jeannie,
ReplyDeleteAll but one Gilly is setting on my feet.
He is hard to get down to sleep. You're supposed to sing to him.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe a game of cards would relax him...HA!
You used to call him a bad-ass baby. Has he improved?? He's awful cute.
ReplyDeleteNee left her computer logged on and said it may be better if I didn't use anonymous. She said to click publish . She knew it would work that way.
ReplyDeleteSo here goes after this one.
How is your family doing ?
Nana is tucked up in bed and Brian is watching the news. If it upsets him he talks to the TV. Calls it a stupid bastard.
ReplyDeleteNo he's still a bad ass baby just like his musty butt mom.
ReplyDeleteI was singing to his butt Big G. just got him .
G. is a handy guy to have around.
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at Angie's lips in the top post. They are much too fat. It looks weird abnormal.
She's not that great looking, except for beautiful eyes and hair, perfect skin and a lovely body...HA! I have one, out of those four things.
ReplyDeleteNo, I just checked again and I have none of those four things.But I can carry a tune.
ReplyDeleteGoodness Is Brian and Big G. kin folks he cuss the TV and pat his butt at it just like a kid .
ReplyDeleteHow is your twins ?
Nee was dressed nice split up halfway her leg and the back open to the middle of her back. I told her I bet Gil bought the dress she said you know it.
It worked now I'm Witchy but i can't cast spells .
ReplyDeleteI guess Gil likes to show her off. It's a "You can look but don't dare touch" kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteShe is good at entertaining clients and business aquaintances.She is an asset to him.
While they are looking up Nee's dress he gets them to sign a contract.
I think Angie is a whore. Angie don't have natural beauty, she is quite ugly without makeup .
ReplyDeleteIf you had makeup people your makeup woild be flawless too. We see a lot of stars here and they look different some has bad shin.
Casting spells ain't all it's cracked up to be. If you change someone into a frog, at some point, you have to change them back and that's much harder.
ReplyDeleteAngie has been around the block a few times. Lots of people have left their calling cards in her honey-pot.
ReplyDeleteAnd your right,with the right hair and makeup anyone can look good, except maybe Whoopie.
Jeannie you kills me and yes he do like to show her off but he makes sure she has her panties on.
ReplyDeleteI think he fell in love with Nee the first time he saw her.
Table games was on two floors and he would always find her .
Someone told Big G. and he started watching her and I think Nee gave him a piece of her mine and Big G. he wanted her for his son.
I think they both liked the fact that Nee wasn't impressed with either of them or their money. She was a fiercely independant individual. And of course she had those gorgeous long legs.
ReplyDeleteDon't mention Whoopi she did a show at Sams Town not long ago and some one should tell her to brush her drity teeth they are brown.
ReplyDeleteG, could probably be quite intimidating, even frightening if he wanted to. So he would be impressed with anyone who was cheeky right back at him.
ReplyDeleteYuck..She has enough money to buy a dentist or hire someone to brush her teeth for her. I kind of lose respect for people who are unsanitary.
ReplyDeleteShe and Joy Behar walked off their show in the middle of an interview and it's a live show.
I don't think their boss Barbara W. liked that very much.
Nee do have nice legs I think after he got between them is when he was hooked for good and went crazy.
ReplyDeleteIf Gil went to Nee's apartment and she wasn't there over to gramps and mom he would come and gramps told Nee to tell that fool boy where she would be . Gramps tickle me he said Gil reminded him of a hound dog trying to catch a rabbit.
Poor old Gil. I think Nee led him on a merry chase and I think she still does. She still leads him around by his pecker or as they say on the Isle of Jersey, his 'twig and berries'.
ReplyDeleteI wished that was big G.'s show he would fire them on the spot he wouldn't care if it was live TV.
ReplyDeleteBig is a man of few words when it comes to business and he really love Nee as he says my daughter.
Next time you see whoopi on TV look at her teeth. Nee says that's the natural color I told her she is a ugly who did it.
Jeannie Big G. and Gil is going to show his family how to do it .
ReplyDeleteI have seen Gil in action a few times and he's tough and takes no prisoners .
Big G. and Gil has a great sense of humor and you never would believe how mean they both can get.
She could pay to have them bleached or even replaced with implants. She just doesn't seem to care about her appearance. Just look at her clothes and hair. And Whoopie is a very intelligent woman.
ReplyDeleteI know G is ruthless in business. I wanted him to get someone to write his life story, not as a biography, but as a story. And so he was telling me some things about how he got started. How he worked in Vegas for his friend who was connectd to the mob.And he had to do some pretty mean things and got his hands dirty.
ReplyDeleteI think they both were used to bright lights and glitter and wasn't used to folks like us and now they love the lazy living.
ReplyDeleteWe have upscale stores here and that's the only place Betts would buy her clothes and was so surprised when we went to Walmart to get the kids summer play clothes.
We love walmart it's a one stop shopping and have the best produce and meats.
I would love to write that story. But my life doesn't belong to me right now. Too many people need me.
ReplyDeleteIn a year or so,maybe, if he is interested.
Poor Betts put all her values in the wrong places. and look where it got her.
ReplyDeleteI just bought the entire baby department at Walmart for my grandaughter.
I find the produce at Costco is better though.
ReplyDeleteThat old man will still get his hands dirty . Big G. and Gil both are well connected I don't think Gil has gotten his hands dirty.
ReplyDeleteHe was going to shoot Henry when he was at my moms' I looked out the window and he was on his way and he wasn't on that scooter he said it was to slow.
Have you mention a story to him? Did you know he and his last wife hadn't live together in 15 or more years. I think he go to see her about 2 or 3 times a year.
Our Costco closed about 3 months ago and we do miss them.
ReplyDeleteThe baby things you bought at Walmart is much better than the big baby stores and will last much longer.
I like Big G.'s saying the money don't make the man the man makes the money I asked him who said that he said he didn't know but he liked it.
G. and I have discussed a book. He didn't think his life was interesting enough. I said,"Are you kidding? It has everything, the mob, murders,bodies in the desert, running for their lives from Queens all the way to the desert." And of course he was dead broke but he built a fucking empire with his own hands. What a story.
ReplyDeleteJeannie,
ReplyDeleteYou can't write it now because you have your husband and mom to care for. Why not just tell him when you talk to him and tell him it will be awhile before you can work on it and take notes and file them away if if he past away I know Gil will fill in the gaps for you. He know the things your husband is going through he's had it himself.
Then he has a whole new story with Rhonda and the winery and what's going on now in the family. It's enough for a sequel.
ReplyDeleteI agree,all the baby clothes I bought at Wal mart were all good brand names and well made and so was the cradle and change table. I was very pleased with it all.
We're not too worried about Brian's prostate cancer right now.He had a very aggressive kidney cancer and although they took the kidney out, they thought it would spread quite quickly to the other one or to other organs.So far He is still clear but it's only been a few months since the surgery.
ReplyDeleteAnd his heart is very weak. It wouldn't take the strain of another bout of cancer. I believe G has a heart condition too, is that so?
It was my impression that G wanted to shoot Betts too when she upset Mae so badly that she had a heart spasm. I spoke to him about it and advised him to let his anger cool before he did anything rash. Betts wasn't worth going to prison for. And she had been punished already. She lost her man, her home and everything she valued.
ReplyDeleteThats what my family don't understand about them the only ones that really cares about Big G.is Mae and her son Lenny.
ReplyDeleteGil's partner from Reno (Henry) looks like a mobster. Leon is suppose to have his office cleaned out by 12:00 tomorrow.
The two guys and their wifes' is top boys in circus and all the shareholders will be there in November.
Gil asked Nee could they used her meeting room and you know what she said.Yippee I will be there.
Apparently Gil knew that Leon was a spy all along. What a smart man.He just let him do his spying thing until he went too far. G raised them and educated them and was like a father to them and this is how they treat him.
ReplyDeleteSadly Leon and Shirley will live to regret their actions.
Yes he did want to shoot her and I called home and Gil was on his way to the hosiptal.Big G. has heart problems . Betts just wanted that house because Nee was in it and It cost a lot of money and she asked Nee why was she giving up her home. Nee looked at her and said that's my business and I really don't like you.
ReplyDeleteWhen Betts was at my moms' and yelling at may and my mom told her to get out and Betts said the wrong thing, she told my mom to make her and mom slapped the piss out of her she seen me and ran out the door I got her and beat her head .
I think G's brothers and all their children are going to have their hands tied and be completely powerless in the business. CC will run everything. I'm pretty sure Gil is Headed that way.
ReplyDeleteAnd the crowning humiliation to them is that the new CEO will be Nee, the one they called a goldigger.
I read all the posts on both blogs and I told Nee after we get back I was going to leave comments on all the posts on Starhooks and the ones here that is empty .
ReplyDeleteYou do know the new CEO needs a secretary and Big G. says that will be me. They don't meet often and Anita is going to show me the ropes.
ReplyDeleteMy little gold digging auntie made good and still shops at Walmart now don't that just beat all.
Gil knew about Leon and he was getting feed back about Shirley . When he hired Mac Leon said it was because of Nee , Mac's work history spoke for itself and Mac told him where he first talked to Nee on the stalker post the first time he saw her was at the Labor Day roof top party and someone pointed her out to him and he spoke to her Nee told him come I want you to meet my husband.
ReplyDeleteI have pictures of Nee mom and Chris house I took them to send to you I put them up somewhere when we started the yard sale but I will find them and send them to you and one of me Nee showed me the picture of Rhonda and Big G. he was sitting in a chair that's an old picture. It really is a lot of stuff on the net about him and when you ask him about it Big G. just grins I told Nee I wonder how much is true and she said not to much. Nee said any PR is better that ni PR.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I had to delete my last comment. I mentioned a surname. That's a no-no. I caught it quickly though.
ReplyDeleteMac is a great guy. I used to speak to him on Heidi's blog all the time. He liked to follow the three of us in the comments. It was like a soap opera to him and his friends. He is a devoted family man but he is fun too.
I'd love to see you all to see if you fit the pictures in my mind.I feel like I know you all. Just like Nee feels like she is related to the twins. And she would sure like to get her hands on their bio. father.
ReplyDeleteShit, Drew Carey is on The Craig show. He don't even look like himself anymore. Just how much weight did he lose??
ReplyDeleteCircus will have complete control. they are the ones that Big G. started out in Reno with so they go way back and they have shares in this one too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to Reno I heard a lot of things about Big G.and Gil.
Well Tootsie, I don't want to keep you up past your bedtime. You'll be all cranky tomorrow. How is the sale going, by the way?? Is it done yet??
ReplyDeleteDrew lost over 50 pounds. He's looking good.
ReplyDeleteI forgot you spent all that time in Reno. You must have heard some stories about the C****O boys. I bet you heard that Gil was quite a player with the ladies.
ReplyDeleteThey will shut it down Saturday and start back n November twice a month for Nee's bears.
ReplyDeleteI would not want Nee to get her hands on that man . Jeannie Nee don't know her own strength and you know I will have to help her , he would be a shitty bloody mess.
Mac still follows you and Nee he keeps saying he's going to talk, I think he's been gone so long he's ashamed.
It looks like more than fifty pounds. But he looks great, quite handsome. Sometimes they don't look good at all when they drop that kind of poundage.
ReplyDeleteThere may come a day when I invite you up here to help me pound that guy to pulp and I am a pacifist. I would make an exception in his case.
ReplyDeleteNow I understand how you and Nee get so involved you forgets the time. Ask Nee how much we did she keeps the books.
ReplyDeleteI will check on Big G. and Gilly I know they are sleep in Big G.'s chair.
Have a goodnight and we will do this again soon.
Goodnight Nan
You know Nee and I would love to hear from him. We're not so scary.
ReplyDeletePS:
ReplyDeleteAll we would want you to do is count him out Nee fights dirty and so do I we would put his weiner in a vise grip like the guy did in the shower door.
Well Sweetie, let's call it a wrap. I think we've entertained our fans really well.Fill in for Nee any time...I have enjoyed it thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the weenie crunch...HA! Night Nan.
ReplyDeleteThey all were surprise to hear he are settled down with a family, he always had 3 or 4 ladies and they knew about each other.
ReplyDeleteOne came here after him and he sent her packing .
He said he found what he wanted.
Now he's just like his dad he will flirt but it's harmless when you meet him next year you will see. NAN
