Let's be honest here...now that the Handmaid's tale is becoming a reality, so will this. This isn't a dystopic view of America. It is what America actually IS. Normal human beings will find this uncomfortable to watch. Sub normal human beings will be triggered. And you can see clearly from the anger reviews that normal human beings are fast becoming a minority whilst the rabid far right extremists are flourishing unchallenged.

No idea what the point of this was??? I spent $7 to rent this and as far as I'm concerned it was pointless... just a character study of several people in a no win situation and a little gay stuff thrown in...

The movie is bad, but not because it's "political" or because "it tells the truth".

It's bad because they made a zeitgeist movie but somehow lost their production rights in the middle, or something... so it was like whipped cream - basically having no shelf life it meant when it came out it's just became concentrated cringe.

> - Am I the first Muslim I ever met?

> - Of course not, I served in Afghanistan!

But then it's meaningfully subverted, however I guffawed > - I mean, like really met and talked to it's a very radio-play in the moment movie which just doesn't work most of the time.

The Muslim Woman Character (Zabi) is doing all the heavy lifting in the movie, and is the only person who's ... you know ... humanlike ? here and ... but the geniuses that the writers are, we only hear them calling each other by name in the first 2 minutes of the movie and then never again.

The scene with the Orange guard ( literally dressed in orange caps and parkas - why not just say "Trump" and the MAGA at this point, because it's painfully obvious) - They've come to see their rural farmer friend - RacistFarmer Then they're like : WOW BUBBA LOOKED DIFFERENT WHEN WE CAME TO SEE HIM LAST TIME. HEY LOOK IT'S THE WRONG BUBBA! TAKE'IM! Then they return the Fake Bubba, but not before introducing him to their local LGBTQ-extermination Atrocity Amusement Park. (the acting of traumatized Jared was good, but otherwise - no)

They just played all the action and horror movie clichés, but with gay people.

Good jerb breaking those stereotypes ?

The only person who otherwise has an oft-repeated name is David they like how it sounds "DAVID" 59 minutes in they have a scene where they have a dialogue to name everyone. Congrats on that!

Then this gem of a bomb of a dialogue:

> Zabi ( Muslim Woman )- How long did you serve?

> Gabe(Dog/Racistfarmer) - Two tours!

> Zabi - Thank you for trying to serve the world! Thank you for your service!

Goddam the scene of David is having second thoughts about being gay while cheating on his partner (?) and the minidrone is back - a sex-scanning minidrone - a minindrone looking for hot gay sex in the forest - it was literally attracted by David cheating on his partner, like, this is disaster-writing

"gay?" "automatically cheat on partner with another gay dude!" Just when I thought it wouldn't get any worse.

At least some motivation for "David having cringy second thoughts about being gay", because David apparently donated to the Dictator in chief's electoral campaign in exchange of pardoning student loans. And because of this David removed his tattoo he did together with his partner (?) because it was all stupid, and "I wanted to pass for a hetero anyway"

And since in all the movies Black characters die first, so IT MUST MANDATORY that the only two characters which survive are "Nonwhite" (and here we also have the strange US tendency to think that Muslims are somehow nonwhite...)

And the reveal of David and Zabi dating and David being poly and bisexual, I guess...

The only thing missing here is the freaking fursecution, and I say that as a dyed in the wool furry uwu

Who wrote this? Who wrote this sh....
