Ben Affleck 08:04:00
You think that films are silly? People pretend to be other people and act out situations which were invented by other people for the sake of entertainment. Maybe to some extent, it's true, but there are actors who change history, there are stories which break political taboos, there are finally situations which help rescue real people. In the whole silliness and superficiality of...

Twice Born/ Venuto al mondo

Bosnia 10:24:00

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers.

They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
