Trailer - Uwe Boll Has Made an Auschwitz Movie

What with today being my last here at The Big Picture, after however long it's been and with however many online miles under my belt, I was so thankful that there was Uwe Boll news today. What kind of send-off would it have been without the world's worst director who, even for Uwe Boll, might have reached a new low? Sure to spark controversy but never make anybody involved a single dime, Uwe's latest movie is called Auschwitz, another in a disturbingly long line of Reichsploitation films. As Twitchfilm says, a serious film about this subject is not a bad thing. I'll go a step further and say that we're two, three generations from children not learning about The Holocaust in any other way but films like Schindler's List, and that's pretty sad. This film isn't quite steered the same way: It features Uwe manning the gas chamber himself, and you can draw your own conclusions if you wish. Anything for a headline, I guess. Here's Uwe's trailer: I will say this much: The images, as frightful and probably distasteful as they are, match up very well with the soundtrack. So at least in that respect, it's a fairly good trailer. But, man, do I not want to see Uwe Boll's take on The Holocaust.

Whoever cooked up the portion of the German tax code that lets Boll continue to make films should go to jail for crimes against good taste.

It is no coincidence that Mr. Boll decided to come out of hiding on the eve of your retirement, Mr. Boyd; He finally feels safe again.

That's how you go out Colin. With a bang and some Uwe Boll news.

Schindler's List was violent, graphic, and disturbing to some. But it delivered a message, and carried well as a movie. This just seems to be going for shock value, and completely void of any sort of validity as entertainment. Because let's face it, movies exist to entertain...what looks even remotely enjoyable about that?

[Jeremy]

PS- good luck with all. Glad you got this flop on your last day.

We're gonna miss you Colin. Good luck for you and damn you Uwe Boll!
