Both Miguel and I wrote posts about the movie The Hunt.
It is a movie about rich Liberals who kidnap and murder poor Trump supporters for fun.
It was supposed to be released last year and was canned. After much public backlash, it’s back to being released and is supposed to hit theaters in two days (Friday the 13th).
Here is the review from the New York Post:
There simply aren’t enough synonyms for “loathsome” to do the new movie “The Hunt” justice.
I haven’t seen it but from the trailer alone, I’d have to agree.
Take the phone texting conversation the so-called satire begins with: “Did you see what our ratf - - ker-in-chief just did?” says one person.
“At least the hunt’s coming up,” replies another. “Nothing better than going to the manor and shooting a dozen deplorables.”
That’s not subtle at all, is it.
We learn this carnage is called “Manorgate,” an event whispered about on far-right conspiracy websites in which the “elites” murder their ideological (and socioeconomic) opposites for sport.
It’s wonderful that Holywood fully admits how they feel about us.
Says one of the killers: “For the record, climate change … it is real!” before throwing a deadly gas bomb.
Disagree with Greta and you deserve to be gassed.
Crystal (Gilpin), a femme fatale whose killer instinct is only explained by her support of the Second Amendment, escapes to a roadside convenience store. However, we quickly learn it’s yet another cleverly disguised shooting range.
Second Amendment supporters are killers, but murderous Leftist elites are just purging the nation of backward thinkers.
That was the exact argument that every Socialist leader of the 20th century used to justify their gulags, concentration camps, death camps, killing fields, labor camps, and mass executions.
Conservatives murder because they are bad people.
Leftist murder because they are good people. They are just taking out the human garbage. We have to die because we refuse to bend at the knee and obsequiously follow their utopian machinations.
From then on, the secrets revealed about Manorgate, and its leader Athena (two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank, who hopefully got lost on the wrong studio lot) are uninspired, and we never root for any of the crudely crafted characters on either side of the aisle.
That was deliberate.
Typically in a story, you are supposed to root for the underdog. But what happens when the underdog is a mechanic from the South who drives a pickup truck with a Trump sticker on the bumper and an NRA sticker on the window? You can’t have the audience root for that guy.
I know that a lot of people are going to say “but this movie will bomb, so what’s the point?”
The point is, Holywood knows it will bomb and not care. How many war movies were made during the GW Bush years that were anti-American, anti-US troops, and made every solider into a psychopath or some dumb midwestern kid who got suckered into joining the army only to be abused and left with PTSD and a broken life?
That was… all of them. Holywood lost money on all of them, but they didn’t care. Those were not films to make money, they were films to proselytize their beliefs to Red States. The studios made more than enough money on some two-hour CGI-fest toy Commerical to make up for the loss from lecturing middle Americans on how much America and the US military sucks.
This is no different.
Some Leftists will go to the theaters just to watch right-wingers get murdered. Forget the Coronavirus, I’m more worried about the biohazard of Leftist pulling a Paul Rubens in the seats to the sight of some fat redneck getting murdered.
Some dumb kids will pay money to see this in middle America for the same reason SAW II through SAW IX were made, they want to watch gore and don’t care about the plot.
But even if this movie fails to make back even the cost of shipping the hard disks to theaters, the studio won’t care. The point wasn’t to make money. It was to tell Trump voters just how they in Holywood feel about us.
This is Holywood’s anti-Trump Triumph of the Will.
The thing is, this is also a 1 hour and 55 minute advertisement for the Boogaloo. Go right ahead and tell 100 million Americans who own 400 million guns and a few hundred million rounds of ammo that you want to murder them for sport. See if that fixes the discourse in America.
