American Carnage

No pun intended - and I will go into detail later on. Keeping it about the theme first. What you are shown is how divided America is - but also how much immigrants have given to America. Of course not just since Trump but even more so since he was President, there has been a shift. Nationalism and racism are on the rise. People who make others angry are able to gather votes and rally people behind them. So while the premise may seem far fetched - in reality (no pun intended) it seems like something that could be done. Just the other day DeSantis did a stunt where he got immigrants into a bus and send them off with false promises. It is quite eerie - still the movie is over the top and has elements that will not happen in the near future ... at least I hope not. And now onto details and a summary line I really wanted to use, but would have been a massive spoiler ... although I reckon some already know that. It is a spoiler for another movie too. The other movie being called Soylent Green and it is a classic. If you haven't seen that, watch it first, then watch this one. Anyway, so I would have gone with "(Soylent) Green new deal". Which of course is not the best kind of deal for the humans that are not being treated nicely here. To say the least. We have some flaws and things would not really work out like that - outrage and all that, but this is a movie and it is showing a heightened reality ... which is sadly based on something real ... flaws like the side effect of making people old ... well just suspend your disbelief ... it could have been worse. Just go with the flow and "enjoy" the social commentary packed into the horror ... it's not a classic, but it is a decent effort.

Old animal meat is not tasty. Making teenage border brothers old in a factory disguised as an elderly care home and then grinding them up should have stayed south of the border. Why the teens being ground up couldn't find work selling hamburgers in Mexico City or one of the tourist hot spots is ignored. Shame on those who supported Diego Hallivis and Julio Hallivis. Life is always twisted by these addled minds.
