Art will imitate life when U.S. California State Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger spends a few hours playing himself later this year in a movie by Sylvester Stallone. The two veteran actors are renow household names across the globe. In Ghana, they are mostly known by their famous films; 'Commando' and 'Rambo' respectively. Both men are European immigrants from Austria and Italy but have become part of the American Dream by firmly establishing their places in Hollywood parlour.
Stallone's publicist, Sheryl Main, revealed more details Tuesday February 24, 2009 of Schwarzenegger's rare big-screen appearance. The Governor said he has done just three cameos for friends since becoming governor in 2003.
Shooting on the film, "The Expendables," will begin March 28 in Brazil and move to New Orleans for two months. Main says the Governor will shoot his scene in Los Angeles. His role will be a familiar one: California Governor.
Stallone writes, directs and stars in the movie, a film about a group of mercenaries trying to overthrow a South American dictator. Do you see how the west manipulates words? Same action by people of different cultural, religious, racial, and political backgrounds would have attracted another description; terrorists, mutineers, coupists, islamists, antisemists, hijackers, kidnappers, pirates, or even dictators. What an unequal world we live in?
Watch out for real gimmicks of this story Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías of Venezuela, Juan Evo Morales Ayma of Bolivia, and other leftists regimes in South America. Hollywood actions often direct or follow Whitehouse's policy direction. The term 'expendables' might mean expanding American ideological and economic interests southward.
