Millennial, have you seen Morgoth's brilliant review of the first Dirty Harry movie? I saw it as a teen when it was released. It was the perfect movie for the time. Yet again American cities had become crime-ridden thanks to liberal values.
The part where Morgoth describes the scene where Harry finally captures the villain in Candlestick Park at night and is mean to him as he screams for a lawyer is unforgettable.
Fun Fact: I have vertigo and the opening rooftop sniper scene made me dizzy.
Magnum Force was good too and inspired, IMHO, by Rio de Janeiro police using extrajudicial means to deal with chronic criminals in the favelas. After that, to my shock, the movies became woke with Harry being partnered with various DEI hires.
Keep up the good work, MW. You're a gifted writer.
I just want to make a point. Re good art/bad art. Sometimes Cheesy bad art makes the point better than good art. The original Star Trek had a load of crummy lines and some bad acting. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is another. But each was actually about good and evil. A very slick version of either would not have been as impactful. It used to be called camp. “Go ahead. Make my day.” “Hasta la Vista, Baby”. A little cheese sauce adds to the flavour. It draws more attention to the point. Not less.
If it doesn't promote homogeneous White societies as the only logical alternative to what we have now, it doesn't really help us. Of course, if it does nothing but let EU bureaucrats know just how angry we are now, it has to be worth something.
Conquest said that anything not stubbornly right wing will become left wing. This observation is true because of the relentlessness of the communist juggernaut. Being normal requires little compared to the energy and obsessiveness required to pursue communist revolution.
I'm of the opinion that the communist "Revolution" is nothing more nor less than the existing ruling class working to adapt the ancient systems of slavery and feudalism to the industrial and post-industrial ages. They will likely succeed because the Roman pundit Sallust nailed it over 2000 years ago when he said that most men do not desire liberty, they only desire more benevolent masters.
If you enjoy Boll's sociopolitical work you'll want to checkout the Rampage trilogy & Assault on Wall Street as well - you can see the template from which this latest effort was spawned in those 4 films.
This movie was directed by Uwe Boll, he was born in Wermelskirchen, West Germany.
Special effects scream low budget film but this isn't trying to win that award.
I see comments denying these types of crimes are happening in Europe with some claiming it's not or won't happen here in the US. Some deny the flood of illegal immigrants and deny they are the ones committing these crimes. A lot of these people are the same people who are fighting the deportations here in the US. These people don't believe because the mainstream/legacy media isn't covering these and other true events in the world or locally.
To me this movie isn't trying to win any awards it's a message of what's really happening (without the vigilante), a wake up call.
This movie isn't promoting this kind of behavior or actions as it doesn't go into any kind of details. Anyone believing it's that easy to be a vigilante deserves to be caught.
There isn't a single accent that I picked up on that indicates a particular location. At the end the message seems to be directed to the US as he said "We The People" and some other things. This is why I think it's a wake up for the US. Directed to those that don't believe because of the lack of media coverage and to those fighting against deportations and/or because they are told to hate Trump regardless other presidents did the same but with bigger number of deportations.
People saying the Jews made this movie are wrong. I find it interesting the boys name is Yosef a Hebrew name. The movie maybe hinting more than one group involved to what's going on in the world.
I too question the sex scene, I get the feeling the movie was a rush job to get the message out before it's too late. I didn't feel sorry for the parents or sister. I absolutely loved the end where the female victim is watching the message on TV. I felt her relief and release when she cracked a smile. She is no longer a prisoner of these criminals.
For those who want to attack the names origin this is from the wiki page.
Yosef (Hebrew: יוֹסֵף Yōsef, lit. 'he will add'; also transliterated as Yossef, Josef, Yoseph Tiberian Hebrew and Aramaic Yôsēp̄ and Yosseph, or Joseph, Arabic Yusof) is a Hebrew male name derived from the Biblical character Joseph. The name can also consist of the Hebrew yadah meaning "praise", "fame" and the word asaf. It is the Hebrew equivalent of the Arabic name Yusuf and the source of the English name Joseph.
Fake art tries to propagandize people. Real art expresses the artist's honest thoughts and feelings about the world. This movie seems real in that sense, technique doesn't matter when the message is so profound.
Apparently it’s so troublesome for an American dog molester the rape gangs in Europe but no the rape and grooming gangs that is LITERALLY HIS GOVERNMENT, this is nothing but a goyslop aimed at trafficking hate towards Muslims, otherwise if they wanted to make a movie about going berserk on grooming gangs it would’ve been the white jewish island of epstien
First, thank you for acknowledging that this is an objectively bad film.
On Twitter and in my own essay on this film and more particularly the reaction to it, I have denounced the film for being bad. More particularly, I have expressed concern about uncritical praise of this film, unattended by any reservation or qualification. You have offered such reservations and qualifications.
I must say I am not entirely sure that this film will yield net positive advantages when weighed against the many disadvantages, especially in the long-run. As I point in my essay (https://theravenscall.substack.com/p/citizen-vigilante-a-film-with-more), we have not yet received a critical mass of support necessary to obtain political power. My concern is this film will be counterproductive in convincing those on the fence who are starting to get it. There are just too many flaws in the film for that not to be the case.
There are issues in the message (eg the problem is not really race but “archaic values” and it is not that they are not compatible with European identity and culture bur rather “democracy. . . and the rule of law.” Beyond that, embracing an objectively bad film like this, without reservation, is a liability. I have to ask myself if these sorts next want Tommy Wiseau or Neil Breen to come out of the woodwork for a right-wing, based film exposing black’s collective racial commitment to crime or a final stand against transgender nuttery. Ultimately, I hope Boll’s apparent monetary success will persuade people who actually have minimal, baseline competence in film making to take the mantle. Please, though, no more Uwe Boll.
Love your writing. I think when referring to leftists, it should always be in the feminine gender. For instance, take this wonderful sentence of yours, "This means he is not the thinking, discerning sophisticate he has always believed himself to be, but a gormless dupe who 'thinks' whatever he has been told."
It reads truer if it was in the feminine gender, "This means she is not the thinking, discerning sophisticate she has always believed herself to be, but a gormless dupe who 'thinks' whatever she has been told."
When I read it that way, I immediately think of someone like Pete Buttigieg or Zohran Mamdani.
Dude is a slumlord rentseeking sociopath who had sex with brown prostitutes. He's not actually a good person by basically anyone's standards, except maybe boomercons who he basically sounds like a leftist's caricature of
The Original "Death Wish", which I saw as a little kid, may be imperfect (okay...it's bad), but it's a bad movie we love. I plan to check this one out, if only to piss off my betters.
I think there are movies adjacent to this genre that are amazing. I'd put the first couple "Dirty Harry" movies in this category; "Taken" was very watchable; "Unforgiven" has the prostitutes taking the law into their own hands after society fails them, and on the lower end, basically anything with Jason Statham. I'm an older guy, but if somebody put him in a big Rom Com, I would TOTALLY watch that, just to say I experienced it.
It is irrelevant that it is a bad movie. Good movies are a luxury for better times and now there are bigger -and more urgent- fish to fry. Jared Taylor and his cohost understood it perfectly and did the right thing by unconditionally praising and encouraging the filmmaker (a dissatisfied antiracist centrist who probably voted for a center-left party in the 90s and early 2000s). Some people can't take Ws. However, this W is huge. What are the odds of a proper film director having several spare millions to make a movie that breaks crucial taboos of the establishment. Like Elon buying Twitter, those Ws can only come from unsatisfied successful people from the establishment. Our work was to create the memes 10 years ago so powerful people like Elon and others react 8-10 years later. This movie is culturally a real game changer regardless of all its flaws.

LOL yes, I very nearly did that, but thought it was just too bitchy!
Literally a movie mocking white men as they try to convince them to go kill Muslims. And they want you to pay them for it. More kosher slop
How does it mock White men?

It's a bad B movie with an A message for a culture that sees itself under mortal attack by the system itself, using foreigners as the weapon.
A growing sense that people are on their own and will have to solve things themselves.
