Uwe Boll is a lot of things. Fearless, cocky, confident and bulletproof. No matter how much crap that peaks at mediocre the guy puts out he still gets movies made. His public presence is amusing as all hell, calling Speilberg and Michael Bay hacks in the same sentence, challenging journalists to a boxing match etc.
But this takes the cake. His latest film is called Auschwitz, and you guessed it. It deals with the inhuman and brutal torture and murder of concentration camp prisoners during World War 2. The teaser trailer is an excercize in humanity as your stomach turns to the soundtrack of desperate hands pounding against the metal door of a gas chamber.
This is not for the faint of heart.
Twitchfilm quoted Boll in regards to this film:
“It’s in the tradition of my movies Stoic, Darfur, Rampage, Tunnelrats, Heart of America… it shows Auschwitz as this what it was: a meatplant for humans… a death factory.”
Now I go to movies to be entertained. Sometimes a tragic story can bring depth and understanding to the human condition.
But seriously Boll. Did you not have ENOUGH contraversy associated with your name. I once regarded Boll as one of the most entertaining directors out there (the person, not his work) but this just seems like attention grabbing.
Is there meaning and depth to this film or did you do it just to put the top hat and monicle on your tortured reputation?
