Mild woke, still a good watch
Definitely see why this was controversial with the elitist/commies/deviants kidnapping and hunting the conservatives for sport. Plausible storyline given the last 5 years with the way the media, far left political wing, and big Corp have been proving conspiracy theories right.
Overall: 7.5/10
Woke: Mild, but sort of necessary for the storyline
PS. It was a manor.

"The Hunt" is a controversial, political movie released during the runup to the 2020 US election. The genre could be labeled "gore-comedy", and although I don't usually like such films, this one is hilarious and anti-woke as well.
You must understand sarcasm and satire. This movie is not woke, quite the opposite. Granted, in 2020 President Trump tweeted, "The movie coming out is made in order to inflame and cause chaos." I can understand him being sensitive about the negative potential, but the filmmaker was on our side, I believe.
Mild SPOILERS follow.
There are literally a thousand barbs thrown at liberals in this movie. One example is a white liberal saying, "White people, we're the worst." You had to be there, but it was clearly a joke at the expense of self-hating white liberals.
True, the film does make fun of an apparently insane conservative conspiracy theorist, but in the next instant proves him correct! At the time I didn't realize it, but in retrospect I see that this porky, properly paranoid character represents Alex Jones.
Betty Gilpin's character, Crystal, reminds me of Lauren Southern: high cheek boned hazel-eyed doe-eyed tomboy blonde conservative with a body to boot. Just Canada was changed to Mississippi, to keep it safe, and anyway she's Southern, after all. Lauren Southern is a cute baby fur seal that the liberals and governments figuratively clubbed almost to death, and yet a fighter, like Crystal. Even when Crystal feigns innocence, this still seems like Lauren.
Another character reminds me of Donald Trump, Jr. The final boss-lady, played by Hillary Swank, could represent Alyssa Milano or AOC. I tend to think Alyssa, because AOC ain't that crazy. Whom did I miss?
In July 2020, Scott Adams famously tweeted, "Republicans will be hunted" if Biden wins. This film was released a few months earlier, in March of 2020. Coincidence?
Four years later, during the 2024 campaign, President Trump was the victim of assassination attempts. And of course Republicans have been hunted in a variety of other ways, like lawfare against Michael Flynn, Donald Trump, and the J6ers. I believe the film was intended as a warning, not incitement. It is the legacy news that has encouraged the hunt on conservatives.
This is a super-based movie. I'm gonna give this 5 giga-chads up and 0 down-cucks. If you enjoyed this film, then you should also appreciate the liberal lambasting in "Lady Ballers" and the Polish show "1670".
