Uwe filmed the film in Croatia, I believe, which is one of the safest places in the world.

I think they only had like 23 murders in 2023.

So let's just deal with this moral panic about crime, about immigrant crime.

And then the film itself, it does advocate for vigilantism.

The guy in it, Michael Sanders, the protagonist played by Armie Hammer, he murders an entire migrant family in cold blood at the end of the movie.

Sorry to do a spoiler, but it's all over the internet.

These are the clips that are being promoted on Twitter by Elon Musk's acolytes.

They're gleefully sharing a clip of a guy murdering a father, mother, son and daughter because the son apparently is a rapist.

So he kills the entire family.

I mean, that is an insane message to send in a film, not just to send in a film.

And I know I've seen an interview Uwe did where he said he doesn't support that scene.

He put it in there to shock us, which is his right as an artist.

But that's not how it's being used online, Piers.

It's being promoted online.

When Elon Musk, Piers, is sharing, you know, he's retweeting people saying, this is the moderate response.

That's what he retweeted.

The moderate response to murder an entire family.

He retweeted another guy who said, hang the traitors first, i.e.

the white judges, which is what the guy in the movie does, and then kill the invaders or kill the criminals.

I mean, this is insane rhetoric for the richest man in the world, the most followed man in the world to be doing.
