“I can’t”: Why do we see less and less Richard Geri in the cinema?

American actress Richard Gerry is one of the types of cinema in the 90’s, but in recent years we have finally seen it on the screen. Reason? Many Hollywood studios refuse to run it because of its positions that not everyone likes because he has been ordered Hollywood reporter In 2017:

“If I were working with this director …”

“There are obvious movies that I can’t be because the Chinese will say,” No, no, “I have just experienced such an episode, with someone who couldn’t finance the movie with me because it would make the Chinese angry.

But this is not an isolated episode, as the actor has confirmed: “I had to do a project with a Chinese director and two weeks before shooting, he called me to say,” Sorry, I can’t do it. ” To leave the country again and it would never work again.

Why is he not a grata?

It all started in 1993, when Geri was invited to nominate an Oscar in the best artistic direction. As an introduction, the actor welcomes the fact that “A billion” People watch the ceremony and lead their words “A terrible situation, it’s a terrible for human rights in China, for its population, such as Tibet”.

Then he asks the rest of the world to send “Love, Truth and Reason” At Deng Xiaoping, China’s Communist Party Central Military Commission then “So that he will take his troops, that China leaves Tibet and returns these people to freedom and its independence.”

At that time, the room applies, first, and then quite strongly, at the actress’s message, but for Gil Kates, for the show’s producer, this is a lot: Richard Gerry has gone too far. The attack in China is a strong investor attack from the movie world, especially Sony, who bought Colombian pictures four years before. After that, it is excluded from the Oscars.

Exile

In 1982, Richard Geri turned into Tibetan Buddhism, became a friend of Dalai-Lama Tenzin Giato, and five years later in New York created the Tibet House dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan culture. In 2008, China took advantage of the economic crisis to make mass investment in American studios and films. In the same year, Ger asked the boycott of Beijing Games.

His positions continued well after his intervention noticed an Oscar, which caused China to be expelled.

Primale and Pretty Woman’s actress, however, has still been acting and has just appeared in the police and spy series with the agency, Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Jodi Turner-Smith and Catherine Waterson. He was independent in December in the cinema, in Oh Canada, by Paul Shadader.
