even bad publicity in hollywood is good for the c.i.a. in the long run.sponsible depiction the details of the true operation which was declassified. we see a difference between "argo" and zero "zero dark thirty." i thought katherine bigelow did an amazing job. it was a difficult movie to direct. but "zero dark thirty" did itself at the on set by stating it was based on event. this was political backlash and there was talk about the character of maya was made. and this was important female character based on jennifer matthews who was killed in a suicide-bombing. upon reflection after seeing that movie, and talking to former colleague who is knew jennifer matthews well, the movie did a grave disservice to her memory and her service. she was portrayed as flighty and almost like a ditz baking a quake for someone who turned out to be a double agent and caused a catastrophic event for the agency. i think "zero dark thirty" needed to be more responsible in staying true to the subject matter because it was just immediate subject matter. >> i will disagree a littl

nischelle turner has covered hollywood for a very long time.'m sure you sat down with many african-american actors. has that question come up with conversation before? >> i think the question of is there a white savior in a lot of movies has definitely come up. i'm not sure if it's the question of do you need this in order to win an oscar. i think more so the general skoensz is it's an easier way to get a movie made in hollywood if you have that central character who is, i guess, more enticing to the general public than just a specific audience. so that question does come up but more so than can i just get a movie made. we heard spike lee talk about it time and time again as a black director and making movie centers on black characters to get movies made. >> you're saying a movie about a black savior, it would be difficult to have that movie made and perhaps it wouldn't attract an audience as a movie about a white savior? >> we've seen this, carol, this year in dang go unchained. there's been criticism of that movie, why did this get all the ac
