That’s Entertainment

3 films 2007

Oh, my God. I want to thank the academy for choosing me to be the vessel from which His blessing might flow. -Halle Berry

During the Olympic games in Lake Placid the ice dancer Sarah Hughes dedicated her winning performance to the victims of September 11. The French contestants in ice dance opened their routine to Martin Luther Kings I have a dream. A French synchronised swim team wanted to use the music to Schindlers list (Spielberg 1993) in their routine, but here someone said no. This is the starting point for the trilogy That´s entertainment. The films show gymnasts who dance swim and do gymnastics to music and speeches. The theme being the sport industries talent for giving the meaningless a touch of meaning, or a look at what can happen when good intentions goes astray.
