“The Hunt” coming to a theatre near you World News
Trump smirks when someone says “Shoot them”. Inciting violence. Hollywood produces a film depicting “deplorables” being hunted down and killed. Satire. Edit: Had to switch to a Fox News link. The original link from the Hollywood Reporter had some crude language quoted from the film.

Hollywood blockbuster that satirizes killing of ‘deplorables’ causes outrage: ‘Demented and evil’ World News
Hollywood blockbuster that satirizes killing of ‘deplorables’ causes outrage: ‘Demented and evil’ [Brian Flood] By Brian Flood | Fox News A controversial movie about privileged vacationers hunting “deplorables” for sport is ruffling feathers more than a month before its scheduled release and after tragic mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. “The Hunt” is billed as a satire that follows wealthy thrill-seekers taking a private jet to a five-star resort where they embark on a “dee…

In the clips I saw all the hunted deplorables are white. So now not only are almost all the criminals in movies and television white but all those hunted down and killed are white. And they wonder why so many young white men are susceptible to white nationalist ideology.
 
I don’t watch violent movies generally.

Any indication that this was going to be anything more than a B movie straight to cable type film?

I’m not familiar with any of the actors.
 
I like Turner Classic Movies and older films, so I guess that’s why.
 
I also prefer the older ones. In part because all the filth like this movie.
 
What is the actual narrative of the movie? It doesn’t really seem like it’s trying to be explicitly anti-Trump, or else you would portray the anti-Trump people as the bad guys.
 
It’s probably not an explicit remake but Most Dangerous is certainly an influence. The concept of the original story has been used in dozens of films over the decades.

I see there are two threads about this movie and The Most Dangerous Game was already brought up in the other one haha

This film is explicitly about liberals hunting conservatives with guns. So this Great Outrage against Trump and conservatives is just another disingenuous attempt to put out an “holier than thou” front from the Dems.

Did you read the the article? It explains the narrative. The whole “satire” issue was thought up as marketing ploy after the recent shootings.

The article seems to indicate that the movie starts off with the idea of the elites hunting the deplorables, but then the deplorables turn the tables and go after the elites, with the climax being their going after the woman behind it all.

I don’t know, the while thing seems cockeyed to me.
 
Yes they are walking back the actual intent of the movie since last week’s mass shootings.This movie is just another example of how the left who seem to be perpetually offended by all thing Trump,can act with impunity and it’s called satire.Now that truly is deplorable!

Not really.It’s just cheap thrills based on society. From the article you posted:
“In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a group of elites gathers for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt humans for sport. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of the hunted, Crystal, knows The Hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off, one by one, as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman at the center of it all,” the description added.
So the conservatives also have a heroine and the whole point is to make people spend money at cinema hoping to unravel some secret politics the movie makers are talking about. Entertainment is same old same old. Never miss a buck. That IS disgusting I agree, but it’s nothing new.
 
This plot of “hunting humans for sport” has been done so many times, it was even an episode of “Criminal Minds”.
