131 Movies are better than ever! Hollywood is often a fomenter of anticolonialist revolutions. from the show business paper: "Ice Boxes Sabotage Colonialism" Sukarno: "The motion picture industry has pro vided a window on the world, and the colonized nations have looked through that window and have seen the things of which they have been deprived. It is perhaps not generally realized that a refrigera tor can be a revolutionary symbol—to a people who have no refrigerators. A motor car owned by a worker in one country can be a symbol of revolt to a people deprived of even the necessities of life... [Hollywood] helped to build up the sense of deprivation of man's birthright, and that sense of deprivation has played a large part in the na tional revolutions of postwar Asia."
