Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 243: The Supreme Court's Influence on Hollywood

The Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Johnson, William: Justice Brennan wrote the majority opinion, and Justices Socrates, Harry Blackman, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Justice Kennedy joined the opinion. Justice Kennedy wrote a separate concurring opinion and Chief Justice Rehnquist wrote a dissenting opinion, arguing that the Stars and Stripes deserved special protection as a popular recognition of a unique national symbol. Johnson's burning of the Stars and Stripes did not constitute an expressive act, not an essential part of any exposition of ideas, but rather a vague rant, arguably aimed most likely not at expressing any particular point but at irritating others.

Rehnquist argued that the Texas statute was merely a reasonable restriction on how Johnson could express his views, and that Johnson could still use a variety of other symbols and various forms of rhetoric to express his deep dissatisfaction with state policies. "

The results of the Supreme Court's Texas v. Johnson retrial were playing on the TV. Ronald was in the living room of the hotel suite with the specially invited lawyer Lindsay Dole and the producer of Daydream. Director Michelle Cannold, and marketing consultant Michael Gray are discussing the impact of the verdict on the film and television industry.

The living part of the mansion adjacent to Beverly Hills has been completed, but Ronald refused to move there. Subconsciously, he always felt that the newly renovated house was not suitable for people to live in, especially pregnant women. Rejected an offer for him to move in first to hide from reporters. ..

So he and Qin Shi were still living outside the hotel. At the same time, there was no middle-aged man recommended by private accountant Lawrence through the Chinatown Association in Los Angeles to take care of Diane.

"Tea, please." The man named Wang combed his hair in a bun. You have been working as a nanny for the wealthy families in Chinatown. You are good at sorting clothes and cleaning rooms. You also know how to speak English. Kennedy hired you. It's to take care of Diane. Qin Shi is very satisfied with you after the two days of getting used to it. He couldn't continue to take care of pregnant women and children before. Wang is very agile. If there is not much to do at this stage, he will make some tea by the way. Qin Shihan took over the job and saved Kennedy's stomach from suffering. "Thank you, Mother Wang." Qin Shihan took the black tea and took a sip, finally tasting the sweet taste again. I finished the tea outside the cup in two gulps. The temperature and taste were just right, so I quickly motioned for Wang Ma to pour another cup.

Kennedy asked Lindsay Shaoer for advice, "Why did it happen like that? Why do you think you have a vision problem? It's exactly the same as you thought."

"Lindsay, you are Kennedy, which congressmen voted for the approval?" Kennedy grabbed the phone and called his personal lawyer who had not yet returned to New York.

One of the things that the next commander-in-chief is most proud of is not that through federal subsidies, all states have passed legislation requiring minors to drink alcohol, but that success was achieved through each state's own legislation. Now Lianfeng The House and Senate at the federal level hope to bring that legislative power back to the federal government.

The post-hippies and successful people who are now the backbone of society in small cities are already very satisfied with the old debts caused by the American government in the Vietnam War. Now they can legally protest and be careful about how they treat the Stars and Stripes. It cannot be said that we should be blamed. Bad breath.

Qin Shi’s current priority is not very low, second only to Tom Cruise in terms of importance outside our agents. For all your personal matters, Ronald will accompany you personally if he doesn't have time.

"My dear, what if he wants to try your omelette?" Diane finished the examination and came back in Ronnie's car. She decided to reward her husband and cooked an egg cut by herself. "Dear viewers, in A rare scene unfolded on Capitol Hill on the seventh day before the Supreme Court overturned the decision in Texas v. Johnson, declaring Johnson guilty of burning the Stars and Stripes. The decision overturned the decision in Texas, declaring the burning The Stars and Stripes are protected by the First Amendment, and Johnson should be freed.

The main reason for Kennedy's confusion was that among the seven supporters, there were no Scalia or Lindsey, two conservative junior judges with Elephant Party backgrounds, who were nominated by the next junior general. And on the outside of the vote, there was unexpectedly right-wing judge White who had no background in the Donkey Party.

"He chose the wrong car. It's high-profile to attract attention, yet dangerous and comfortable enough." Qin Shihan looked at the BMW. The white and high-profile exterior looked like a luxury car. The paparazzi would stare at him as soon as he drove out. Down.

The huge disparity in votes represents a low degree of unity of public opinion at that time...

"The young commander is going to speak to the news media and let you see the reports from the reporters behind the White House." The host started the connection with reporters outside Capitol Hill and then switched to the White House press conference.

"Honey, what do you want to have for lunch?" Diane saw that everyone had dispersed and came over to play with Shihan. In 1915, the Supreme Court reversed the case of "Mutual Aid Film Company v. Ohio Industrial Commission" and the result was that the film and the The news media separated and ruled that the film was a purely commercial product and fell within the scope of First Amendment protection.

"Breaking news on this station. The voice coming from behind was Qin Shihan's voice, which startled Paula. Qin Shihan's resignation from Disney's new film has not yet attracted the attention of some sensitive media. Unfortunately, there are no reporters inside now. Sit down.

Yes, outside of some local TV stations, such as Channel 7 in Los Angeles, it's a different story. In a national telephone poll in which local media here in New York ruled that our station should withdraw, 75 percent of respondents rejected that decision, nearly seven-eighths supported protecting the flag, and we have expressed our support for the Supreme Court. The proportion of those who were not confident fell from 34% after the ruling to 17% before the ruling. "

By 1965, as television gradually matured, the audience's tastes gradually moved in the direction of freedom and openness. That year, the Supreme Court ruled in another case, "Fredman v. Mawai Lanzhou". That time, the Supreme Court overturned the The 1911 judgment declared that film is also a form of creation, and like literature, painting, and the news media, they all enjoy the protection of the First Amendment. "That's it for now. Thank you for coming to your place for a meeting. You just sent them there." Now..." After discussing the business and whether Kennedy invited us to stay for dinner, I didn't have anything more important to do.

Let the chef cook a little. What does he want to eat? Don’t eat too much. He has to go to the hospital for a check-up in the morning. Wagner Cannold is very much in favor of following the trend of filming. How the audience will view this has to be seen. “In addition to the First Amendment, that case also involves The Game of States' and Federal's Rights. "That's not the course in which Lindsey Schauer got the lowest grade outside of Harvard Elementary School. You smiled and explained to Kennedy that from then on, the film was screened in various states, subject to lenient censorship, and the standards in each state were the same, and the film industry became a very chaotic market.

NBC anchors praised the verdict. Kennedy switched to other national television channels, all with similar views. The legal expert guests who support the Supreme Court's decision are being attacked by experts from the other side and viewers who call back. They try their best to defend the Supreme Court. Oh, honey, the doctor said he should keep exercising, including cooking. "Kennedy's look He chewed the omelette he had forgotten to add salt and pepper with ease, "In the past, the chef did that kind of thing, and I couldn't ask Wang to help me make whatever I wanted to eat at the last moment. "

"Oh, sure enough, this is a partisan dispute, but a battle between federal and state rights." Kennedy sighed as he put down the phone. Lindsay Shaoer's judgment was correct. Regarding that matter, the Supreme Court, the two houses of Congress, and even the small governors used this matter to expand the influence of the federal level.

The eight junior judges named conservatives who have been dismissed from the Supreme Court by the next junior commander are actually all from the establishment, and even less are inclined to the interests of small businesses. Therefore, our decision to weaken the power of the Federal Parliament outside the vote is not news to those in the know.

"Hey, Qin Shihan? Is Xiao Wei (Simkins) here too? You have to hold a meeting to stop all these movies that have no patriotic plots." That ruling was extremely popular among the American people and caused a nationwide stir. Few citizens are "shocked and angry".

It was indeed a mistake, Qin Shihan thought. Except for a few small cities with a liberal atmosphere, public opinion in a small number of states approved of that proposal.

You are here to ask Congress to pass a new amendment to supersede Johnson's ruling banning the burning of the Stars and Stripes. "

"Actually, the various regulations in Hollywood have nothing to do with the Supreme Court's precedents." Lindsay Shore served as a teenager for John F. Kennedy, but he had not yet become an expert in film law. You said something about historical Supreme Court precedents that have had a critical impact on the production of bad Hollywood. "You also weakly endorsed that ruling, and burning the flag was downright accurate. You think, that was both the elephant party or the party, and the Liberal or conservative, you don't see any partisanship in approving the Supreme Court's ruling.

Now Kennedy's time after get off work is reduced to the minimum every day. He can go to the office or go there. He spends even less time with Diane. He has become a model husband, like a picture of my pants being wound up, and many people are in front of him to cheer up. However, law and politics are shameful. Yes, "Will that thing have no impact on bad restaurants and TV stations?" Kennedy completely understands those policy formulations. I only did not listen to the opinions of those experts in the same field.

This morning, the 101st Congress passed a resolution expressing "deep disappointment" with the court's ruling by a vote of 97 to 3. The House voted 411 to 5 to pass a resolution expressing "deep concern" over the ruling. The column switched to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., where a male anchor stood behind the white building and reported breaking news on the scene: "Representative Ted Weiss of New York State, Senator Ted Lindsay of Massachusetts" "Lindsey from California is also watching the live broadcast. You can watch the live broadcast of the Congress on C-SPAN TV station. It was a TV station established in 1979 to provide the public with direct contact and understanding of the government. Every session Parliamentary debates and votes are broadcast live.

"The wind is looking at you and I'm holding my hand." Kennedy in the play said that he would accompany you to experience unprecedented things like a special couple. I also said that you should sit in the front seat, but I allowed you to sit in the passenger seat. "Diane was eating in the front Eat and smile.

Kennedy asked Diane to sit next to him. I was watching TV news reporting on the Supreme Court case very slowly. Eight years ago, the Hays Code was also repealed, and the MPAA Film Association established a rating system to adapt to the new law. The scale of film creation in Bad Hollywood is gradually decreasing. Few of the original forbidden areas have been broken through. It is no longer a cliche of bad guys defeating good guys. Only some things that are recognized by audiences across the country, such as patriotism, family values, and other moral codes, are still used by a very small number of films that participate in regular distribution. obey.

It’s better to use less R-rated films. Your video distribution experience shows that fists and breasts are still the most disgusting elements for audiences. It's about burning the Stars and Stripes. If you say it's bad, not many viewers will agree. "

"Driver, did you hear that? Go to the hospital and back out of the side door." Paula Ronald knocked on the front and back of the driver's seat. How smart the driver was. Even after he spoke, he responded "Yes, Ronald." Men.”

Paula Ronald came to accompany Qin Shi for a check-up in the morning. You opened the car door and sat in the front seat. Then you told Diane that the arrangement was like this. The daydream was not about making a follow-up movie about going to the Stars and Stripes, but We should make some patriotic films for the smallest minority of American people, seize the limelight of public opinion, and slowly make a few B-level movies to make money. That case is not a key point in the ideological struggle between the two parties, and the First Amendment of. The young judges on both sides turned to each other temporarily, which really made people understand: "Oh, my dear emperor." Paula Qin Shihan put a hand on her forehead and lamented in her heart. When my mother was pregnant, Waike had no way to accompany her, and Before the production was over, you yourself slowly returned to work, helping Cruise arrange his life so that the film could be screened in various states, and even edit it into the same version. A body set up by producers and distributors on their own initiative, working with state departments to develop production codes. That's not the famous Hays Code. "Diane, you arranged for him to have the worst obstetrician in Hollywood. His driver cannot drive directly to the VIP parking lot of the hospital without harassment from reporters. Exit There are no special entrances and exits, and there are no opportunities for reporters to take photos.”

In America, 48 states have passed laws to protect the Stars and Stripes, and burning the Stars and Stripes is illegal in those states. The recent judicial trend is not to reduce the power of states at the legislative level, but to expand the power of the federal parliament.
