The film, with the working title Pawn Shop, centers on an Antifa siege of a Minneapolis pawn shop amid anti-ICE unrest. On one side: an ICE agent joined by a group of pawn-shop employees and customers. On the other: a rabble of progressive protesters, and eventually a bloodthirsty MS-13 death squad, both intent on rescuing a Hispanic man detained by ICE. It plays out exactly how you’d expect it would.

The film’s first minutes will likely get the most attention. As Pawn Shop opens, two ICE agents in Minneapolis arrest the Latino man, later revealed to be an MS-13 boss. Dimwitted liberal activists film and scuffle with the agents as they try to take their suspect away.

Then the film’s Renée Good stand-in enters, slamming her Subaru into the ICE van. Described with the subtlety of a brick as “MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent “Juan” with her car. Then his ICE partner, “Mike,” shoots her in a justifiable killing.

0% on rotten tomatoes I'll bet. Literally rotten garbage from the sounds of it.

Didn't the nazis produce propaganda films like this? This new national christian (nat-c ~ [nazi]) pedophile regime is so ridiculous.

    What's so absurd here is that if the likes of Ben Shapiro working on this.

    He doesn't think that the fascists won't get around to rounding him up?

    This is a real "Jews For Hitler" situation...imagine, with all the lessons of history, being Jewish and thinking you can ride the tiger...

    Rarely. They realised that people wanted escapism rather than indoctrination, so particularly as war losses mounted, cinemas were filled with domestic comedies. Triumph of the Will is a bit of an outlier as it is hard propaganda. It’s also an amazing bit of filmmaking, which helped its performance. I doubt MAGA could get anything of that calibre off the ground.

    Bah, with the budget she had and the ability to she had to call in important people to reshoot bits of her "documentary" lots of directors from the time could have made something that looked as good

    She was just creating revolutionary documentary techniques that are still heavily influential today, defining the visual language of the Third Reich, and making a film that would make her the most famous female director of the century. But sure, she could have asked one of the gentlemen to do it for her I guess.

    revolutionary documentary techniques

    Because the format was like two decades old, you couldn't solve basic problems without revolutionizing everything

    defining the visual language of the Third Reich

    Using her unlimited budget to recreate visual language that painters had developed over hundreds of years to create marketing material for an organization that existed for less time than the Star Wars franchise

    the most famous female director of the century

    Yeah there were a lot of morons with bad opinions in that time period

    sure, she could have asked one of the gentlemen to do it for her I guess.

    Actually I don't think that was her call, but either way my point is that a filmmaker of any of the genders who had the kind of budget and set control that she had at that point in time in filmmaking couldn't help but innovate just because so few movies have been made before

    Occult forces is one relatively famous French movie featuring fake freemasons and jews. It's enjoyable by its stupidity, but not very subtle.

    One dialogue features a jewish shop owner who says something like: "Hello, my name is Shlomo Moshe Goldstein (or some shit like that) and I have good prices for you" with all the stereotypes. But it's historically interesting to watch at least once.

    Yes yes slop slop.

    The important takeaway is that your dear magats are being told every day that there will come a time when they will be called upon to kill their friends and family because they are kind hearted but misdirected and being used for evil. This is an extension of the messaging they received at church their whole lives.

    It is now their main media narrative. No one hears this their entire lives and then just "gives up" when it looks like their world of hate is crumbling. If it comes to it, these people are going to try and do the thing.

    I'm surprised CBS hasn't announced an ICE TV series yet
