So, there is a movie coming up
called The Hunt. The basic plot synopsis is liberal elites hunting
people they hate that they see as "deplorables." And in the wake of recent mass shootings, ads
for the movie are being pulled sporadically, and the Hollywood
Reporter is saying that behind the scenes they are talking about rethinking how they are going to
market it and so on. This is probably the
first news that the movie existed for many people, so I am seeing a lot of
conservative anger directed at it. For
instance, Twitchy has an article
typical of this where conservatives are quoted as saying how terrible this
movie is as an idea. You can read for
yourself, but the basic gist is “oh my God, they’re making a movie that revels
in murdering conservatives.”
And I am here to persuade you
that maybe that interpretation is wrong.
