citizen vigilante (Page 2 of 2)

Watched it, here my "expert opinion"

It sure is full blown cringe, 2/10. Not sure why would somebody want to ban it, except to not remind that their immigration policies are so backwards that guys with machetes screaming something about their imaginary friends from time to time are roaming their streets. Other than that who would even want to watch this garbage.

Regarding that "vigilante" character. He is just some brain dead psycho, nothing of value would be lost if some other vigilante would blow his brains out Not counting stuff like causing a fatal crash for no good reason, evading taxes etc., even his 3500 "units" basically are causing a housing crisis in that city, what probably has more severe consequences than for example a single drug dealer.

Did not see any racism from the vigilante here. He was targeting certain categories. If in one of them happens to be somebody non-white, it is not a racism That guy with a machete tho with 99% certainty on top of the rest was a racist as well

Also it is not a racism to show that in imported into Europe "cultures" indeed exist "she wanted it" (also she is white and infidel, so does not count). If that would not be a rock solid fact, for example, Sweden gov would not publish in Arabic "how to behave in Europe 101" pamphlets, lol. And if you want to hide it, there is a term for that: a censorship. And it does not matter if wokies are doing it, it still is a censorship - this is another 1+1=3, that they for some insane reason think that they are allowed to censor what they wish.

In Croatia uniforms with "SWAT", "POLICE". What budget this had? 300 eur?

This topic has been discussed at length in lots of places; ultimately I think that no answer can be right because the questions are already wrong. Change is always one kind of threat, and no change is always another. But that's not really important here. I only brought it up because some folks, like that party you mention, like to refer to themselves as a "silent majority" of sorts when they are, in fact, a very vocal (though large) minority. Just trying to head off SgtSaint falling into that kind of rhetoric there.

That another ditch, who welcome change with no filter, math and very often logic nowhere to be seen, call themselves also "progressives" - are a vocal minority as well. It's two opposite clowns wilding. Not all needs to be changed, there even is an ancient wisdom - don't fix what is not broken. And this ditch I blame more, because in most cases all it takes is 3 seconds finger math to see that their fantastic ideas will end bad, while claiming that they are about to improve something. And in my book they deserve each other. Like I don't feel bad for Americans, they themselves achieved Donald. Germany the same, there is no smoke without a fire. In Germany case don't see big diff AfD or Die Linke, both out of this world lunacy.

Also in this movie context it is funny that somebody tries to censor - the other side is mass producing their propaganda, lol. And also get upset when somebody points that out

Well there isn't technically any censorship. In Germany, the (non-government) organization that usually provides the age rating for movies has so far simply neglected to provide one for this one, and movie theatres won't show it without any rating at all. But that's a guild thing, not a law thing. Why they haven't rated it yet is anyone's guess, but the key word is "yet". It is a country where people with similar views as this protagonist ran the government for a while, to unpopular effect, so yes, it could be meant as a form as censorship. But it could just as well be because Boll personally pissed off someone there in the past, wouldn't put that past him either. The film seems to be as available as any other everywhere else.

Again, that's not really relevant to anything else being discussed here. But yes, thinking the opposite of a bad thing is always a good thing is stupid. Which does also describe part of the issue being discussed here: answering no action at all with extreme levels of indiscriminate violence.

Let's keep this thread about the movie itself - plot, themes, acting, censorship/rating, etc.

Broader political/religious arguments have been split off.
