Thank you, Sasha. I wasn't aware of this and might have missed out entirely. I don't even care if the movie is no good! I just appreciate the chance to see it and increase the number of views. Once again Elon does good for our civilization. I think we should change Mars' name to Elon ;-)
I honestly have only seen a handful of movies in the last 30 years that accurately and fairly portrayed a conservative or working class family-religion person and their actual motivations. If this is the case, wouldn’t that mean that this is the actual “marginalized” person, at least as far as storytelling is concerned?
As a for instance, when was the last time you saw a pro-life position represented in a mainstream film? Over 40% of people have a moral objection to it in America alone - far more want it legal but with restrictions and certainly not celebrated, yet the only movie I can think of in my entire life where I saw a prolifer not represented as a loon with very reasonable objections is Juno - that’s it.
After reading Sasha’s interview with the Director of Citizen Vigilante I learned that the movie would premiere in theaters on June 19. Living in Orange County, CA, I was curious to see if any movie theaters were showing the film. No such luck. I checked Fandango today to see if it was available this week. Nada!
"[Citizen Vigilante] Sanders later kidnaps [Judge] Reinhold and fatally slits the judge's wrists. Finally, Sanders visits the home of Yusuf, one of the rapists, and takes him and his family hostage. As Yusuf's relatives excuse his actions and blame the victim, Sanders orders him to summon his accomplices to the apartment. Once they arrive, Sanders executes Yusuf, his family, and the other attackers."
Do we really want "citizen vigilantes" running around being judge, jury, and executioner?
I suggest watching "A Man for All Seasons" instead:
William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”
Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”
William Roper: “Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!”
Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!”
In answer to your question: "Do we really want "citizen vigilantes" running around being judge, jury, and executioner?" No, obviously we do not. But unfortunately that is exactly what is ultimately going to happen when you constantly refuse to portray reality as it is and unfairly slander and victimize a certain group people to the point where they receive no justice, no quarter and no fairness from the powers that be. Every action has a reaction.
I like revenge movies like Taken & The Beekeeper so I’m sure I’ll like this one. However I’m not sure how much I would promote vigilantism since apparently some people think it’s ok to kill CEOs of healthcare companies in the street. I guess it depends on who gets to define who the enemy is.
The woke left didn’t open the floodgates of immigration across western countries. It was an elite project and had support across the political spectrum. Of course one can argue that the woke left is also an elite project,-:).
Very true but the left and democrats called for it openly with the approval of their voters while the right had to do it under cover, against the will of their votoes in the service of the donor class.
Great topic, Sasha. My parents came from Germany post World War II.
I implore the left to turn down the rhetoric before it is too late. Every person has a breaking point in the left across the globe does not seem to understand that concept..
Not a huge Uwe Boll fan, based on his early torture porn movies like Hostel, but I’ll probably watch this movie based on the corporate media not wanting me to watch it.

Elon is a national treasure, we are fortunate to have him here.
The first AI films are already sprouting across YouTube and leave much to be desired, but they will improve exponentially fast. Hollywood is doomed.

Lefties can't handle the truth.
What happens in the movie:
"[Citizen Vigilante] Sanders later kidnaps [Judge] Reinhold and fatally slits the judge's wrists. Finally, Sanders visits the home of Yusuf, one of the rapists, and takes him and his family hostage. As Yusuf's relatives excuse his actions and blame the victim, Sanders orders him to summon his accomplices to the apartment.

Hostel (2005) was by Eli Roth.
Crickets. What a disappointment. Maybe traffic will pick up later in the day.
