In the history of film, there are various "banned films", some are banned by theaters, some are boycotted by audiences and filmmakers, but the "banned films" that are personally boycotted by the president of the country, have you ever seen it?
This year's new film has suffered such treatment -
The Hunt
Just by looking at the poster, you can see that this film is not simple, and on the black background, there are a few particularly conspicuous white bad comments: showing what is real madness and evil; deliberately inciting the division of the country.
However, the biggest news about this film is that US President Trump personally criticized it, because of this movie, Trump put a "highest level of racism" hat on the whole hollywood.
The U.S. president's boycott, coupled with the unabashed gun violence in the film, coincided with major shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas.
The producer Universal Pictures could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, so it announced that the film would be withdrawn indefinitely, and it would not be able to see the light of day on the Internet until March this year.
The story begins when the girl (Emma Roberts) wakes up in an unknown wilderness, not knowing who she was brought here, and even worse, she has a shackle on her mouth and cannot call for help.
Fortunately, her hands and feet were not tied, and she stumbled all the way to a clearing with a huge wooden box next to the box surrounded by 11 strangers who had their mouths sealed like her.
No one dared to act rashly, and they all stared nervously at the big box, and a bold man stood up and pried open the box.
There was no big explosion in the box, no alien species rushing out to kill everyone, only a pig in clothing, and all kinds of submachine guns, pistols, machetes, daggers, bombs...
Just as everyone was wondering, the girl carefully found an envelope on the inside of the wooden board of the box, and there was a key lying in the envelope, and she immediately reacted, and this key could open the shackles on their mouths.
Although the crowd still did not understand the situation, but still decided to open the shackles first, and distribute the weapons down to lean over, the girl did not know how to make the gun, a man (Justin Hartley) jumped out and said: It's okay, I teach you.
Seeing that the small flame of love between the two people was about to burn into a raging fire, but in the blink of an eye, one of the men and women was shot in the head, and the other was blown to the flesh, and they actually received a box lunch.
Immediately afterward, bullets, grenades, bows and arrows and other weapons flew from all directions, and the rest of the people were either poisoned, some shot, and some were blown up by the crotch of the thunderbolt, and they also quickly received a box lunch.
At this time, the survivors suddenly realized that they had come to the legendary game- the Manor Game.
It has always been rumored on the Internet that the rich class will select 12 commoners, exile them to a manor, and then hunt and kill, but I didn't expect this game to be real!
The 3 surviving people were frightened and rushed to hide in the convenience store of the nearby gas station, but they did not expect that this was a sheep into the tiger's mouth, the old couple of the convenience store seemed to be gentle and cowardly, but they were actually hunters, and the 3 people were all destroyed.
I thought that everyone was dead and that this "game" should be over, but I didn't expect that the real drama had just begun.
The convenience store came in to buy the heroine of the cigarette, the old couple waited for the opportunity to move, but the heroine first saw the flaw in the change found by the old couple, so she immediately solved the old couple with two shots.
After killing people, the heroine saw the nearby railroad tracks, and fled to the train, but she did not expect that the train was checked halfway, and she was detained at the police station.
The police then contacted the embassy, and soon a man claiming to be from the embassy picked her up by car, along with several of her companions.
Before they could get out of the car, the heroine suddenly kicked a rabbit, kicked the man who picked her up out of the car, and then killed the other companions and stuffed their bodies into the trunk of the car.
These people are all here to save the heroine, why did the heroine kill them, is it necessary to end this hunting game, we must eliminate all the "players" in the manor?
Seeing this, I think everyone knows that this movie is about battle royale, bringing a group of people to a closed environment, and then stimulating fierce struggle and resistance, which is the so-called "battle royale" model.
This game originated in ancient Rome, when rulers liked to put beasts of prey and slaves together in the Colosseum and let them continue to fight until they were both killed.
Later, this barbaric game of fighting was gradually wrapped in the cloak of civilization and began to enter literary and film and television works, such as "No One Survives", "Murder on the Orient Express", and Fukasaku Shinji's "Battle Royale".
No matter how you set the tone, you will find that it tends to be nested with human trials and political metaphors, and the same is true of this film.
The director of "The Hunt" positioned the film as a social thriller, and the film basically covers all the social hotspots in the United States, such as gun control, refugee issues, free speech, as well as abortion, AIDS, feminism, etc.
However, anyone who has seen this film will understand that it neither deliberately elevates the elite nor favors the civilian class, but actually satirizes the antagonistic contradictions between the two classes.
As the movie says, "When you write about it, you think it's true." ”
In the surging tide of public opinion, too many people only believe what they want to believe, and then step on the truth, this magical scene, is not it happening every day now, is also the most ridiculous?
