Uwe Boll Sickens With Auschwitz Movie

[Mr. Omega]

... (that's all I have to say about this)

 

[Scrythe]

I'm sorry, but isn't this the same asshole who turned Postal into a 9/11 comedy?

Let that sink in for a bit. 9/11. Comedy.

This German piece of shit should die a slow and painful death. He is the Rob Liefeld of movies.

 

[TheEnglishman]

Well, I'll just have to employ my normal strategy with Bow, ignore him and his movies, it's worked so far.

 

[Avayu]

I fear the worst. Up until now, Uwe Boll has just made bad movies about games. As much as most of us hate hi for this, it has at least done no real damage. But making a film about the Holocaust some kind of sick torture movie based on its shock value, and this is sadly what I expect it to be, is really just disrespectful.
Why would any half sane man do this?

Have you, by any chance, seen the Saw films? Because they have nothing going for them besides being 'sick torture' movies.

And that's why I don't like them. Not that it would matter, it's just my personal opinion. But having the same kind of movie about Auschwitz really is an area I'd prefer not to go to.

Its still a German man making torture porn out of the fucking Auschwitz Death camp,

Try watching the teaser.

It appears to be an accurate representation of a serious subject, that in all honesty, the average person really doesn't have a clue about.

HOW DARE HE ADDRESS SOMETHING WITH HONESTY! WW2 is only about killing Nazis.

Its still a German man making torture porn out of the fucking Auschwitz Death camp, You can't just giggle that away with the "Well it's suppose to make people uncomfortable" argument.

On the upside, if he does that he'll go to jail.

 

[Combined]

Nazisploitation is back? I thought the 70's were over. Huh.

Well, I can say that I definitely didn't expect this. That's really about it. I'm starting to think he may be possessed by Bruno Mattei's ghost.

 

[Jared]

He can try...I wonder ifh e will be actually able to pull of something that is fairly respectable?

Time will tell...

 

[TheEnglishman]

I'm sure Boll's a decent guy

No. He is really not. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwe_Boll#Critic_boxing_matches_.28Raging_Boll.29]

If you were trying to make him look worse you failed utterly, because I for one find it funny as hell that he challenges his critics to boxing matches.

Wrong. He challanges the critics he knows he can beat to boxing matches.
Anyone who looks like they might possibly have a chance mysteriously goes without challenge. And when they seek out matches, he declines.

Yes, one of his most vocal critics practised Muay Tai and Jujutsu and was actually a fair fight for him Uwe Boll refused to fight with him. Not that I'm implying Uwe Boll is a coward as well as a rubbish film maker, except, no wait I am.

 

[kintaris]

We shouldn't be arguing so much about this. Its Uwe Boll. This is exactly the kind of thing he's hoping for so people will watch his stupid god damned movie just to see how terrible it is. And thus he stays in business.

If you don't look directly at him, he will disappear.

 

[Ekonk]

I dunno, the trailer DID convey a real appropiate sense of in-your-face unease. Of course, knowing Boll, the finished product will probably suck anyhow.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

The part of this I find most intriguing in the part about the cat's anus. Does that really happen in Bloodrayne? I might have to actually play it now.

Anyway, I don't see what the fuss is about. He wants to make a gorey, gruesome film and is going to use subject matter that people are going to get riled up about for publicity. If he made a film about 11/9 would everyone be as pissed at him?

The famous catscene is from Postal and it was Part of the Game so it wasnt even Boll's idea.
The Trailer looked nightmarish, but not like he was making fun of it.But it was too short to judge it in any way except that the short images looked quite realistic.

Id like to second the comment of a jewish guy on another page, that it rather see a jewish comedy musicalfilm about it. Its time for such a thing.

 

[Raithnor]

I see he's no longer content in pissing off just the gaming audiences anymore. This has the feel of a giant troll.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

I think Uwe Boll kind of gets a bum rap from people. Let's not deceive ourselves into thinking that Postal, Bloodrayne, and Farcry had great source material for a movie director to work with. Sure Bloodrayne was awful, but Kristanna Loken did get naked, so not a complete loss. Postal was actually kind of fun if viewed properly.

That aside, not sure how many have actually seen Uwe Boll's "Rampage", but it's actually a good movie. Not a good movie for Uwe Boll, but a good movie in general. If Rampage is any indication than Auschwitz should be fairly disturbing and make everyone feel pretty uncomfortable, as well it should.

I think it's a good move for him (and for us all) that he moves away from video game movies, gamers are just hyper-defensive and damn near impossible to please.

Its still a German man making torture porn out of the fucking Auschwitz Death camp, You can't just giggle that away with the "Well it's suppose to make people uncomfortable" argument.
and before anyone asks "well why are you making such a big deal about his nationality ?"
trust me it is a big deal. I myself am part German and I know of at least one of my relatives that was an SS officer and I makes me sick, strangely on that same side of the family I have Jewish blood in me as well because the brother of the SS officer married a Jewish woman fled to America and had children.

Where the f. do you see a torture porn in a few seconds of footage? If thats the kind of porn you watch, see a specialist..
The trailer i have seen didnt show anything different than some documentations did.

So we have a German director whose works have been considered the cinematic equivalent of the Holocaust who's releasing a film about WWII death camps. The most surprising aspect of this story is that it didn't happen sooner.
