Re: The Hunt
Well, there's the discrepancy. You say that it's not good satire. I say that it isn't satire to begin with.
You think it failed at delivering a deeper message. I think it succeeded at providing violent popcorn entertainment.
So, of course, I enjoyed it while you felt that it fell short. That's kinda my point. The expectations of the audience played directly into their enjoyment of the film. Anyone who went in looking for satire, for some deep political conversation starter or message, came away disappointed. Anyone who went in looking for blood and guts with a wink and a nod, came away with a smile on their face.
