Indeed, Can we make a movie about Slavic people that were slaves... I think that is beyond Holly-weird's capabilities

I'm all for "never forgetting" about the wickedness and cruelty of mankind's past, in order to never repeat said past. However, such dramatizations of inhumanity and apathy really gets my blood boiling, and it is that very reaction that media conglomerates may be trying to cultivate within the general public. Perhaps, in an effort to kindle and rekindle racial tensions which leads to distrust, separation, hate, and violence,.... divide and conquer strategy. Just an opinion.

yes I brought that up because I saw a docu in which caucasian women where enslaved by Turks. Something that is almost forgotten and might be very very controversial.

You're upset over a half dozen movies about slavery? Why? If you don't want to watch these, there are plenty of non-slave movies to throw your money at, like Angry Birds, Captain America, X-Men and Jungle Book.

It's called playing it safe to make $$$. These Hollywood production companies exist to make $$$, period. They do not exist to produce thought provoking art, that is the realm of independent film now. The reason we all these remakes is because they take something that made $$$, polish it up a bit to make it more "modern looking" and resell it as new. It is a safe bet that what worked before, if updated, will work again.
It really is that simple.
