Vice President Pence should not be stereotyping the Stars of film and television.

To begin the MOVIE INDUSTRY has made important films that provide jobs to local citizens in nearly every state in the country. In addition, the people involved in politics are Americans who happen to be popular on screen and television. Television is such an outdated word, too. But, to demonize Oprah Winfrey is just plain wrong and it won't get him votes he wants for the candidates he is endorsing. 

These people that are very talented and bring entertainment to the public are global citizens that bring the best of the USA to audiences everywhere. Foreign countries love to mimic the USA's film industry. It provides profit to the country and adds to the GDP, but, "Going to the Movies," is a Middle Class comfort and provides a venue for the development of a wide range of emotions. It is the only place I know where a child can take a ride on a train to the North Pole.

So, I value these people. They are incredibly talented and their fame did not happen overnight. If Oprah knocked on my door, I would pledge to vote but also let her know how much she is valued in such a door to door effort, how brave she is to step into the political arena and while I had her attention I'd tell her exactly what is occurring in my day to day life that just isn't fair.

Vice President Pence is making big mistakes by defaming people that love this country and it's people.

...Even so, (click here) the film-going public, as well as the motion picture artistic community, demands authenticity. While going on the road comes with a price, there is no substitute for the screen-filling landscapes in Arizona and Utah that made westerns such as “The Searchers” unforgettable, or the gritty docks operated by longshoremen in Hoboken, New Jersey, that made “On the Waterfront” a classic. The film industry’s need for genuine locations also means more dollars in state coffers.

Each state has unique characteristics that make it attractive to filmmakers, and with that in mind, 24/7 Wall St. has tapped various resources to find out what is the best movie filmed in every state.
