Talk:Dragged Across Concrete

Bulwark
Why is this film set in a fictional city? It bothered me when I encountered made-up city names in DC comics (Metropolis, Gotham City, etc.), it annoyed me to no end when the movie Navy Seals(?) was set in the nation of Jaffar (which would offend me much more than using a real country if I was Middle Eastern), and it made me boycott what might have been an otherwise-good Marvel film, The Black Panther, when they set it in Wakanda (as if a real African nation populated by "black" people couldn't possibly become so technologically advanced. In fact, I see no reason whatsoever for any fiction to use imaginary locations unless the subject matter seriously casts the place in a bad light. The reason couldn't possibly be financial, like in the remake of Red Dawn, in which CGI was used to change the invading force from Chinese to North Korean after the Chinese government complained; possibly offending one country should not be given precedence over possibly offending another. In any case, as far as city names go, plenty of fiction is set in real cities like New York and Los Angeles with no thought given to possibly offending their populace. 2600:1700:5DD0:3E40:D80B:135A:6DFD:180 (talk) 18:13, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Image removed, needs FUR
File:ZahlerVeniceFilmFestival2017.jpg, used on this page, was marked as having a CC 4.0 licence, which was incorrect; the source clearly says no commercial use allowed. I've removed the licence but that means to use the file you need a WP:FUR. I've removed the image; it can be re-added once a FUR is written.
