Robert Redford - The Hypocrisy of Hollywood Elists

[GHook93]

Redford said the Sundance film festival isn't for the 1%ers and they need to go home. Granted Redford is in the 1% , :finds every loophole in the tax code to pay as little as possible , probably cheats as much as possible on his taxes and just insulted a good chunk of the attendees and people who made the festival possible !

Granted the Sundance Film festivals is usually about show-casting your film so one of the big movie corps picks it ups and produces it! Granted there are 1000s of over-paid actors tossing zillions of dollars around without shame or care that it could help the less fortunate 99%ers. Granted the Sundance film festival would NOT go on without all the corporate sponsorship!

Who are these Hollywood Elists fooling! Redford doesn't seat in coach or even first class! He takes a private plane. He doesn't stay at the Comfort Inn, he stays at the best room at a 5 star resort costing $10K a night. He doesn't drink Miller Light, he drink a $10K bottle of wine (and only drinks half the bottle). He doesn't grill hotdogs and hamburgers for his kids for lunch. His private chef cooks Lobster tails and King Crab Legs.

Who the hell are they people crappin?

Redford's Arrogant Message!

Robert Redford Says Sundance, The Corporate Sponsored Playground For Celebrities, Is For The '99 Percent' | Fox News
Attention, One Percenters! You can go home now. The Sundance Film Festival is not ... repeat NOT ... for you. (Except of course our corporate sponsors and super rich celebrity guests. You can stay. As a matter of fact, we'd be lost without you!)

That's the mixed message the was being sent as Robert Redford opened the 34th annual Sundance Film Festival

The Reality Behind Redford Hypocrisy!

would seem to run counter to Redford's characterization, with big corporations sponsoring virtually every event and venue, and super rich celebrities racing each other to scoop up corporate sponsor freebies.

First, let's look at the sponsors. The official Sundance headquarters "proudly brews Starbucks" with a pop-up stall assembled just for the festival. The Bing Bar hosts press conferences and interviews. Grey Goose Vodka sponsors several Blue Door events. The Acura Studio hosts premiere dinners. Even the city of Miami brought the Miami Oasis Suite to Park City to lure folks to the beach capital. And one of the hottest late night tickets is quite the sponsor mouthful: The T-Mobile Presents Google Music at TAO in Park City, which serves to recognize and support independent musicians through the launch of a new Google Music Magnified program.

There is no doubt that, whether we like it or not, commercialism is the engine behind the Sundance Festival and almost every other entertainment enterprise we value. Commercialism has only enhanced Sundance, not damaged it," Gene Grabowski,

Yep getting Plasma TVs, Designer Clothes, Jewelry and Smartphones for free is just how EVERY working class 99%er lives! I wonder how many 99% got this free stuff at Sundance! Did Redford share his freebies with the poor? NOPE. Probably isn't paying taxes on it either (yep those gifts exceed the limit)!

And then there are the celebrities who are there for the stuff. When they're not prompting films or trying to be photographed by paparazzi, many actors can be found filling duffel bags full of thousands of dollars worth of free goods by bouncing from one gifting lounge to another, in which title sponsors and vendors pay upwards of $50,000 dollars for the privilege of giving away free products to famous people. Smartphones, tablets, televisions, designer clothes, boots, bags, booze, jewelry, weight loss aids -- all is given away for free. This year Mary J. Blige, Emma Roberts, AnnaLynne McCord, Laura Prepon and William H. Macy were all spotted picking out goodies, and smiling for the cameras while they did it.

The Paris "99%" Sundance Experience!

Stars who aren't even in festival's films come to town for a good time at the corporate-sponsored parties and suites, providing Sundance even more press. For instance, Sundance regular Paris Hilton once again flew to the festival in style, reportedly opting for a private jet with her younger brother Barron, 22, and his model girlfriend Vanessa Du Basso. Several other personalities, like reality stars Tinsley Mortimer and Stephanie Pratt, and "Dancing With the Stars" pro Chelsie Hightower, also scored VIP attention. In fact, a large number of people wandering around Main Street told Pop Tarts that they were having a blast at Sundance, and they hadn’t seen a single film.

The Reality: Without the 1%ers the Film Festival wouldn't be dick!

"If Sundance were to revert to its indie roots, it would become almost irrelevant because it would be unable to attract the star power that has made it the event it is today."

The Real Truth is Redford should have thanked the 1%ers for making it possible!

Author Grant Cardone, founder of several multimillion-dollar companies, said companies should not be painted as evil by the arts industry. "Where there is no exchange of goods and services, there is not activity. This type of commercial exchange in the marketplace is what makes for a vibrant marketplace and allows for it to continue to grow and expand each year," he said. "People are going there to do deals, to make connections. They aren't gathering for the good of mankind or just some creative moment."

It's kind of weird that FOX would bash Sundance when they participate in it as well.

So they shouldn't report that Hollywood is retarded when it comes to politics?

 

[Claudette]

Well perhaps the 1% should just go home and take their money with em.

I'm sure th hotels, restaurants and store will appreciate Bob Redfords politics.

Sounds a lot like Willard Romney's lifestyle, doesn't it?

I dunno why anyone pays attention to Hollywood people's opinions on politics.


Who besides our politicians, is less in touch with the average american than hollywood folks?

How do you know what his 'lifestyle' is?

 

[California Girl]

So, by Redford's remark that these mythical 1%ers (of which Hollywood are not part - apparently)... where, exactly, is 'home'? The 1% are all illegal immigrants? I don't get it.

Good luck.

Remember... It's supposed to be "Do as I say, not as I do."

Why? What's he doing?

 

[rightwinger]

Redford is such a hypocrite..

As a one per center he should be telling people "I got mine, why should I care about yours"

What a jerk

 

[Ravi]

Remember... It's supposed to be "Do as I say, not as I do."

Why? What's he doing?

Selling movies. Just like always.

Some people are jealous and butthurt over that fact.

No, Ravster.... some of us are wondering how on earth Redford is not part of this '1%'. He's a multimillionaire (like Romney), he don't do 'real work' (like Romney).... He is everything that the left complain about. Only difference is that he's a liberal.... so it really isn't about money, or how one achieves that money... so what exactly makes one a 1%? Being a wealthy conservative? What?

What a jerk

"I got mine, which could be yours, but it's going to stay mine so i can stay in the 1%!!!"


Which I have no problem with, but he pretends to have a problem with it so certain people will like him more and give him more attention.

Yep. They hate Redford but they'll take his awards.

WHEN was the last time Redford did a movie that anyone was willing to pay to see?

I'm thinking it was about the same time as you posted anything relevant, Rati...
