One thing I think that is getting lost in the hubbub over this movie is that the filmmakers have the “deplorables” win. They are the heroes of the film, and the ones hunting them are clearly the villains.

The guys that produced it aren’t even typical Hollywood lefties, they are a trio of guys from North Carolina. Though I’m sure they aren’t Republicans, they are not left coast elites. Seems to me the actual message of the film may have “whooshed” over some peoples’ heads in the rush to be outraged.

Sounds like it’s time to disarm the left as a threat to good citizens

Just a word of warning to the clueless Hollywood self described elite: Most deplorables are armed and educated on what to do with those arms. And very few will be deer in the headlights when push comes to shove.

Thank you.

Expect it to be lost on many. A lot of the active shooter types are suicidal, and , what with us being doomed to die from global warming, I’d expect the movie to infect some susceptible minds. I’d feel pretty evenly matched if I were unarmed and could lure an armed snowflake into the brush. I don’t think they’re able, or likely to track, though.

This movie is more proof that the left LOVES guns.

They just don’t want YOU to have one.

That could be the reason for the hubbub. Someone wants the film pulled before the deplorables get emboldened. If it makes the left look bad, it must be deemed “hate speech”.

The deplorables win? All the more reason to ensure that we are disarmed in real life.

I ranted before about how they want to take guns from non-violent honest citizens (us) while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

I watched the trailers and nothing "whooshed" by -- the actual message you describe wasn't there to be seen. Serious question -- where did you get this information? It certainly hasn't been part of the ad campaign.

That said, 'entertainment' like this is still a bad idea. It puts too many thoughts in addled heads, something we're seeing a lot of these days. You think the people who produce this horrid tripe would know better. But they don't, apparently.

_________________________________

I discovered the *twist* just a couple of days ago.

Interestingly, the major pull quotes I’ve seen from those involved in the production have emphasized “...it’s satire” and “No one gets the joke.”

This is satire? The armed Second Amendment Constitutionalists turn on the progs and take them out? Or is the joke that the wealthy elites think they can hunt and kill American patriots with impunity?

Oh, and there’s a kicker: the patriot leader who snaps and turns the game around is a woman. Is that the satirical part?

Evidently, the progs who bloviate about killing us all and death camps don’t want this plot released. Which raises another question: who produced it and how did it get as far as it did?

So much cognitive dissonance on so many levels from the same people who shut down a Twitter account over “Thou shalt not kill.”

You cannot make this s#!+ up.

Waiting for the bootleg release.

I also found it repeated in several accounts of the release date being delayed. With details.

Look at how we were emboldened by being reduced to "deplorables" by the "elite" left. The Trump/Les Deplorables meme was epic! They had, at last, given us a rallying point. I believe they fear the same with this movie.

President Trump should tweet this that there is a movie out about hunting deplorables his supporters and now they want to take away our guns. Now is not the time to do that nor is it ever the time to do that.

Rhe libs have been arming since 2015. I confirmed this with a Freeper gun shop owner
Most of the first time checkas in his store are full on libs.
I suspected something wtong when an avowed leftist asked me to teach her about guns in 2015.

Be ever vigilant. Do not assume that which you depended on is true. What if it isn’t?
How many 2A people will be willing to be imprisoned, have their wives n daughters raped and imprisoned?
This must be looked at through the lens of the world history of the left.
They are willing to rape, murder and kill. They know we will fold.

“the actual message you describe wasn’t there to be seen”

No? The murderous and immoral people conducting the hunt seemed to be the heroes to you? You think they are going to win in the end of the film rather than the plucky, resourceful female that always wins in these kinds of films?

“Serious question — where did you get this information?”

Basic logic and familiarity with films. You know, like the type of knowledge that if you see a guy with a mustache and British accent, he is probably a villain? If you see an attractive female lead who is facing long odds, she is the hero? Little children can pick up on this stuff, because these tropes are as old as the film industry.

“It puts too many thoughts in addled heads, something we’re seeing a lot of these days.”

Meh, I don’t buy arguments like this. This film is based on a book from 1924, and there have already been at least five film adaptions of it. So you’re not putting that genie back in the bottle.

Besides, sick people think sick thoughts just fine on their own, I don’t believe trying to censor entertainment for the rest of sane society is going to stop sick people from doing whatever they want to do.
