Conversaty:  Talking to Directors, Actors, Athletes, Businessmen and Women

Watching interviews gives you a better insight.  What I love about interviews is that it helps you better understand why people do what they do.  You also get to know a certain person a little better.  Conversaty is an intelligent platform wherein you get to see famous actors, directors, athletes, businessmen and women, scientists and other well-known personalities discuss about certain issues or ideas.  I say intelligent because you get to pick a little of their brain.  These conversation with famous people will help you appreciate more about what they do and who they are.

Conversaty is one of the Web TVs that bitlanders features.  It is one of the Web TVs listed in micky-the-slanted-salerno's blog encouraging bitlanders members to blog about.  Submitting your blog for review will give you a better chance to double your reward here in bitlanders.

Eli Roth is known for films that involves gore and liters and liters of blood.  In his interview, he talked about how he came up with the idea for the movie The Green Inferno.  It is not a "criticism" but rather a "comment on society" on how people loves getting involved and thinks that being active in social media is enough to impact the society.  There is a big difference between the social media and going out there and experience the situation, the issues being discussed and be involved and immerse yourself and be more relevant.  Tweeting, liking and sharing posts and videos or links, discussing things online is not enough.  People only want to look good online by being involved in a lot of causes but their involvement stops there.  Offline, they are not really that involved in any cause at all.

Eli Roth also talked about how he loves working with indigenous people or the locals.  He said that these are great actors.  They act naturally without paying much attention to the camera.  That way they are more believable.

Watch a short clip of Eli Roth's interview here.

The Green Inferno was supposed to be released on September 2014.  However, due to financial constraints with the production company, they movie was released a year later.  This film took inspiration from cannibal movies like Cannibal Holocaust and other films from the 1970s and 1980s.  The Green Inferno stars Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, Sky Ferreira and Daryl Sabara.
