When accepting the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award Angelina Jolie says “...across the world, there is a woman, with the same abilities and the same desires, same work ethic and love for her family, who would most likely make better films and better speeches. Only she sits in a refugee camp and she has no voice. She worries about what her children will eat, how to keep them safe, and if they’ll ever be allowed to return home.

It seems like an awfully difficult task to calculate lost profits to Main Line Pictures in this case. Kim Basinger, a well-known and very reputable actress, walked away from a movie deal causing Main Line Pictures to lose money. The amount of Main Line’s loss can never be determined with pinpoint accuracy, and Main Line would not have made the profit that they indicate they would have.

At the time, it was used to express being “had or cheated”. This, when paired using word association, created the expression of “To be black is to be cheated.” In Fritz Fanon’s celebrated 1952 essay piece, “The Fact of Blackness”, he expresses, “As long as the black man is among his own, he will have no occasion
to ponder this question while in the midst of viewing the film. There's simply too much else going on, too many characters and plotlines to allow you the time to reflect on the underlying questions the film raises about art.
