Actor: "Anti-Islamic Filmmaker 'was playing us along' " Sylvie Lednicky
The video that has spaked many protests in Islam,"The Innocence of Mohammed", created by an American filmmaker, Nakoula, was done without the actors every really knowing what it was about. The original movie was an adventure film with nothing to do with religion or politics. Later, the actors were asked to come in and tape over the movie with new lines. Each actor was only given certain words, like "Mohammed" and such. Later, the filmmaker, who was using a fake name, pieced them together to make his horrifying film. I can't believe that anyone would take this kind of advantage of Hollywood or free speech. It is people like this that might make our government want to get rid of our freedoms, creating a dystopian society like the one portrayed in Anthem, by Ayn Rand.
