Exporting Gun Violence To Foreign Movies.: September 7, 2018

While this week there doesn't seem to be any domestic U.S. release of new movies featuring posters with gun, it was not the case for foreign movies that came out.

Five Fingers For Marseilles, a South African film that showed to critical success at international film festivals in London, Palm Springs, Toronto and Korea. The story about violence in modern day  South Africa seems somewhat interesting, but it's hard to say whether I'll ever go see it.  It sounds like using guns and violence to entice a new generation of movie goers from an African country to see movies based on violence and chaos. Thugs shoot thugs movie. We are exporting movies that aggrandize gun violence.

Is there some social commentary about modern day South Africa? Maybe.
