    He’s going to do the same thing with “Triumph the Will” sooner or later as well. The media will still insist that he isn’t a nazi.

      Some years ago, he thought it was of paramount importance that Matt Walsh’s “documentary” What Is A Woman? be shown free on Twitter.

    He’s a prominent immigrant. Maybe start with him and see if that fixes the problem…

      I haven’t watched the movie, but being scared about immigrants that bring crime is a movie that Native Americans could legitimately make.

    Reading the title: How interesting, he’s promoting a movie from one of the worst directors I have ever heard of. Oh of course.

    I checked imdb and it had 6.8 which I 1000% cannot believe is accurate as somone who watched other uwe boll movies. I know its been 20 years since I seen one but they were all d tier and need to be lost by time or used as template on what not to do. I dk how he even got those actors in there.

    From wiki

    [10] Elon Musk subsequently promoted the film and made it available for free on X for two days.[11] Following its release on streaming, it became the No. 1 purchase on both the Apple TV Store and Amazon Prime Video.[12]

    And Wtf ppl payed for this when it wasnt even in theaters?

      Fwiw, if the Prime video and Apple TV store are anything like the “NYT Best sellers list” it really doesn’t take much to send a title to the top when the typical market is people buying a wode selection of titles with no trend whatsoever.

      A paid-only release alongside hyper-performative consumerism for said product is how these things skyrocket despite not being very popular at all.

      Now that I think anout it, 6.8 is pretty bad when your audience are willing to ignore the typical faults because it suits their political fetish. Sycophants who can’t even give you a good score!

      Your typical prole is not gonna buy overt neo nazi shit when their brains are being kept in a gentle equilibrium of Hitlerism hidden behind a veil of liberalism. they’ll stick to saving private Ryan

    For some reason when I watched the trailer for this I got the impression it was like a sensationalized Luigi trope and got semi excited for it. It only took a couple mins of exposition for me to realise that nope, it’s just about murdering brown people. Haven’t noped out of a movie so hard in a long time

      Would you like a spoiler for the disgusting ending, that Uwe Boll defended against Mehdi by saying ‘people are fed up’?

          There’s an immigrant family where the son is an SVist and the sister knows; the ‘vigilante’ murders the entire family and Uwe Boll literally uses the sister knowing as justification. During the debate with Mehdi he tries to backtrack and say ‘oh well I’m not supporting these actions!’, but then returns to using the sister knowing as justification and saying people are fed up.

    Uwe Boll has never made a movie that isn’t dogshit so anyone promoting this movie is just loudly declaring they’re a fascist

    Also the best part about this being anti immigrant murder porn is the guy’s a fucking american, in Croatia

    Funny that I didn’t even know about this because I’ve blocked so many of the weirdos on Twitter.
