The Movie has a typical revenge theme. There have been a myriad of Movies made using the same Plot device.
The Bad Guys Hunt the Good Guys and the Good Guys win in the end. People hate it when the Bad guy triumphs at the end.
We have been conditioned to believe that more Americans think that WE are now the Bad Guys and the crazy Leftists are the Good Guys. That is why we are having such a visceral reaction to this silly Movie IMHO.
Studios have been know to reshoot final scenes of Movies because the Audience felt disappointed when the perceived Evil person wins.
There are exceptions, Silence of the Lambs comes to mind. Anthony Hopkins made a Serial Killer seem like a sympathetic Character.
The idea that the Movie will not be released (for now) because of the actions of a couple of crazed Lunatics is ridiculous.
It is as ridiculous as Politicians “negotiating’ away the Constitutional Rights of the American People because of the actions of those same crazed Lunatics.
Are we now denying the hatred that already exists, Movie or no Movie, coming from the Left towards anyone who supports the current POTUS? I’m not.
There is a difference: the consisten theme in Blum’s films that the evil white conservatives (especially heterosexual Christian men) are always the villains. In case you did not go to the American Partisan link and read it, I’ll bring the relevant paragraphs here for you, minus all the photos and embedded links.

Then a counter-narrative began to emerge. What if the liberal elites sipping champagne and nibbling caviar on their Gulfstream jet (along with their kidnapped victims drugged and unconscious in the back) were actually the villains, led by the evil character played by Hillary Swank? What if the deplorable conservatives, led by the character portrayed by Betty Gilpin, turned the tables and hunted their hunters? Would this legitimize the content of the film? After all, hasn’t Hollywood produced revenge-oriented action pictures for decades, such as the original Death Wish series, starring Charles Bronson?
To my way of thinking, no, not at all. In Death Wish, Bronson’s character Paul Kersey is an average city dweller whose wife and daughter are brutally attacked, raped and murdered (the daughter lives a while in a coma) by criminals in a home invasion. When the police can’t find the perps, Kersey eventually begins to roam the city streets in order to tempt criminal thugs into attacking him before shooting them in a vigilante form of self defense. Similarly, current hyper-violent films like the John Wick series target only confirmed gangsters and criminals. In no way do these films compare to The Hunt, which according to reports was initially titled Red State Vs. Blue State, with a clearly political basis accounting for the selection of the victims to be kidnapped, hunted and murdered.
But hasn’t the basic plot of The Hunt been used in movies many times, notably in various renditions of The Most Dangerous Game?
Again, the comparison falls short. In all versions of The Most Dangerous Game, victims such as hapless sailors were chosen at random by a wealthy psychopathic killer to be hunted and killed on his private island. In The Hunt, victims are chosen for their present-day political beliefs. In the highly charged political environment of 2019, turning the tables to make the hunted the hunters is merely a fig leaf to disguise and excuse the film’s dripping scorn and hatred for deplorable white conservatives.
But how can I make this claim, after watching only the trailer for The Hunt? Because the film’s producer, Jason Blum, has a long history of producing ultra-violent America-hating murder porn, most notably his “Purge” films, adapted both for the big screen and television.
The violent inclinations of his hard-left political beliefs are most clearly born out in his Purge series of films and television shows. In the Purge films, following an economic collapse “The New Founding Fathers of America” party (racist white conservatives) has come to power, and once a year they allow citizens to go on unchecked murder rampages where they mainly wipe out minorities. The films always struck me as uniformly moronic, so I didn’t pay much attention to the greater issues presented within them until now.
Basically, in the Purge films, conservative white Americans are portrayed as evil racist monsters who will murder minorities if given the opportunity to do so without suffering any consequences. These blood-soaked murder sprees are often musically accompanied by “America the Beautiful,” lest any of the dimmest viewers miss the point. And while there have been gory slasher and murder-porn films going back for decades, none have combined nihilistic hi-def graphic closeup murder sprees with pervasive anti-conservative, anti-white and anti-American themes like the films of Jason Blum. Scan this blog which blends a synopsis of The Purge: Election Year with images to take a stroll through the film.
Note the “Keep America Great” subtitle of The Purge: Election Year, a clear reference to President Trump. The three images on the left above were taken from a GIF embedded at the above “WTF: The Purge Election Year” link. (I added the text within the shotgun blast’s flash.) Many other still images and GIFs are there, and you might want to get a barf bag ready before you visit. But decrying the hyper violence within the Jason Blum Purge films is not the point of this essay, it’s his consistent anti-conservative, anti-white and anti-American themes that are deliberately and inextricably mingled with the racial hyper violence.
If there were ever films more deliberately designed to stoke racial animosity, it’s hard to imagine them. But being a murder pornographer has been very lucrative for Jason Blum, whose net worth is estimated at about 50 million dollars, including a 10 million dollar Brooklyn townhouse.
But while being a pornographer has always been lucrative, at least Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt did not create their pornography out of close-up imagery of gory murder committed by evil racist conservative white American men against women and minorities for their own depraved pleasure. That new low–politically-motivated racist murder porn–was left to be plumbed by Jason Blum, Hollywood’s most vile anti-American murder pornographer. But he’s rich and he’s famous, he even made the Time Magazine list of the 100 most influential Americans! So who cares if he’s priming the mental fuses of the next unhinged San Antonio or Dayton mass shooters? Come on, kids, let’s break a hundred on the next rampage! You can do it! And Blum will predictably blame it on America and evil white conservatives.
We’re constantly told by leftist politicians, media and “entertainment” (sic) figures that the solution to America’s mass shootings is the elimination of the hundreds of millions of firearms already in private hands. But semi-automatic magazine-fed rifles (and pistols, revolvers and shotguns) have been available for over a century, while mass shootings are a modern phenomenon. The guns didn’t change, society did. And we can thank greedy murder pornographers like Jason Blum for helping to feed the moral depravity and stoke the fires of political and racial hatred. So in that light, his currently delayed film The Hunt makes perfect sense. Who cares if you help to instigate a bloody second civil war, a dirty civil war that might lead to the deaths of millions of Americans, as long as you can make millions of dollars producing anti-American, anti-white and anti-conservative murder porn? Not murder pornographer Jason Blum. He’s laughing–at you– all the way to the bank.
