The Hunt (2020)	comment	The Hunt is a 2020 satirical action thriller film directed by Craig Zobel, written by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof, and co-produced by Jason Blum under his Blumhouse Productions banner.In a world much like our own, twelve individuals awaken in a field with no memory of how they got there or why they were taken there in the first place. They soon discover a large wooden crate full of weapons—at which point hunters begin shooting at them with guns, bows, and even grenades. Those who survive the initial massacre are forced to flee, and as they run they discover the truth of their predicament: the hunters are a group of ruthless liberal elites who, fed up with "deplorable" conservatives, have decided to kill a bunch of them for sport.Unfortunately for them, one of the hunted is Crystal (Betty Gilpin), a veteran who proves substantially more capable of surviving and fighting back than any of them had anticipated.The Hunt was originally scheduled for a 2019 release, but was temporarily canceled following multiple real-life shootings and protests from then-President Donald Trump. It was finally released on March 13, 2020, but due to poor ticket sales stemming from the then-nascent COVID-19 outbreak, Universal opted to release it online for streaming on March 20, 2020.Not to be confused with 2012's The Hunt.

The Hunt (2020) / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Most of both the liberal elites and the conservative extremists are broad stereotypes feeding into how each side perceives the other and not based on one particular person. The exception is Gary who runs a podcast, goes on a rant about "Crisis Actors" and generally resembles Alex Jones.

A moment later, they both get thrown through the glass, breaking it this time, but the action proves so painful that they both end up stunned for a few seconds afterward. Later in the fight, when they're headed for a glass door, Athena shouts, "No more glass," and Crystal slows down enough to let her open the door and walk through normally.

It's also unclear whether Don was a plant, or if Athena was pretending he was to get him killed. Athena refuses to answer.

Dale, the weapons consultant who trained all of the hunters in gun usage, seems to be this, with no real stake in the hunt beyond owing Athena a favor. He even expresses regret to Crystal about agreeing to be there at all, not that it helps him much. To a lesser extent, the pilot and stewardess. Presumably they were being blackmailed into cooperating given the stewardess was a witness to the first murder of the movie, and neither was especially interested in fighting Crystal once it was clear Athena and the other hunters were defeated.

One of the hunters manages to yank the magazine out of an assault rifle he and Crystal fighting over, thinking that she can't shoot him now. Crystal merely checks the chamber for a bullet, sees there is, and raises an eyebrow. The hunter only has a second to realize his mistake before Crystal shoots him directly in the chest.

Now it wouldn't make sense why Crystal would post this photo until you realize the person behind the camera is the true JusticeForYall, showing her displeasure towards Crystal on social media for some reason. We find out moments later that is the case.

The Hunt (2020) / int_4f6cf75	comment	The conversation that some of the liberal hunters have in the bunker strongly suggests that they aren't any less prejudiced or bigoted towards minorities or gays. They're just practiced at concealing it under a surface observance of political correctness. The liberal hunters and conservative quarries together do indeed end up looking like Mirroring Factions. The line of conversation about Haiti in particular betrays beliefs that it's squarely up to rich white liberals to save underprivileged minorities from themselves as those minorities lack any capacity to deal with their own problems. The liberal hunters are definitely feeling the White Man's Burden.

Crystal was kidnapped by mistake, but the film goes out of its way to show that she has no political affiliation. She loathes her liberal captors and wants them dead (understandable, after what they did to her), but she doesn't follow politics or seem to have any strong beliefs about it, and is explicitly shown disagreeing with the conservative views of her fellow captives. Essentially, in a satirical war of liberals vs. conservatives, the indifferent bystander comes out on top.

When he's too squeamish to do it, she irritably snatches his gun from him with a snarled "Let go of it, you snowflake!" and blows her own brains out.

When she later takes the lead role, she reveals she keeps 20 dollars in her sock in case of emergencies. Subverted by Yoga Pants, who is the one to find the keys to the gags in everyone's mouths, which seems to establish her as an observant person worthy of being the main character, but she's a Decoy Protagonist. The first scene is a collective one for the villains. One of them subjects the stewardess to some passive-aggressive bullying and they muck up their attempts to restrain one of the prisoners who has woken up ahead of time, after which a woman whose face is not shown walks in and dispatches the prisoner with brutal efficiency. It shows that the villains are snooty hypocrites, and that most of them are not very competent but that their faceless leader very much is.

The Hunt (2020) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: After killing Staten Island, Vanilla Nice and Big Red, Ma drag their bodies into the store-room, noticing as she does that Staten Island is wearing a wedding ring. She laments about not realizing that he was married to Pop, who brushes it off. This foreshadows how the hunters only did the bare minimum of research into their targets, thus establishing how they were able to kidnap the wrong Crystal. Supporting this evidence, the hunters were picking out the victims based on their social media accounts and profile pictures so when we get to Crystal's (JusticeForYall), she is seated behind a cash register while someone taking the photo offscreen flips her off. Now it wouldn't make sense why Crystal would post this photo until you realize the person behind the camera is the true JusticeForYall, showing her displeasure towards Crystal on social media for some reason. We find out moments later that is the case. Crystal is adverse to saying much throughout the film, but does confess that she worked at a car rental place and did tours in Afghanistan. Athena tries to break her spirit by reciting her Deep South trailer-trash backstory, but once she claims Crystal never held down a job it becomes evident she doesn't actually know who the person in front of her is. Midway through the film, Crystal tells the story of "The Box Turtle and the Jack Rabbit" to Don where the Jack Rabbit "wins" the race by breaking into the Box Turtle's house, stabbing him to death (Right after brutally massacring his family while the turtle is forced to watch) and eating his food since he got peckish. The story draws parallels to the final showdown between Crystal (The Jack Rabbit) and Athena (The Box Turtle) as the former goes to the latter's manor (Or rather "second home"), fatally stabs her after finishing off the rest of the hunters and eat the grilled cheese sandwich Athena made before the fight. Athena's role as the Box Turtle was even alluded to in the opening scene as one of the messages in that fateful group chat was a tortoise GIF. The movie opens with a group chat talking about having fun hunting down deplorables, then cuts to a private jet in flight. A random guy comes into the cabin disoriented and the passengers are aware of why he was there but skittish and sloppy about actually dealing with him, before Athena coldly kills him with a stiletto heel. They were not going on the hunt mentioned in the group text, that was literally a joke that got them, a bunch of corporate execs, fired. They then created their own Most Dangerous Game in a twisted form of revenge, they are not experienced hunters who have done this for years but amateurs way in over their head.

Athena visibly has to do some mental gymnastics to try to defend her actions at the end. Even the gas station owners make a fallacious point about gun ownership, which falls apart in the face of a guy who has just been kidnapped and is actively being hunted down.

The Hunt (2020) / int_d0a09849	comment	Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: Definitely in the commentary here. The liberals, even before they stoop to outright kidnapping and murder, clearly think anyone who disagrees with their politics is ignorant scum whose lives are irrelevant, and they constantly phrase things as if they’re really the victims here in the same manner, say, a textbook abuser would, acting like the frightened people they’re hunting are really the ones at fault.

The Hunt (2020) / int_d2d7288e	comment	Midway through the film, Crystal tells the story of "The Box Turtle and the Jack Rabbit" to Don where the Jack Rabbit "wins" the race by breaking into the Box Turtle's house, stabbing him to death (Right after brutally massacring his family while the turtle is forced to watch) and eating his food since he got peckish. The story draws parallels to the final showdown between Crystal (The Jack Rabbit) and Athena (The Box Turtle) as the former goes to the latter's manor (Or rather "second home"), fatally stabs her after finishing off the rest of the hunters and eat the grilled cheese sandwich Athena made before the fight. Athena's role as the Box Turtle was even alluded to in the opening scene as one of the messages in that fateful group chat was a tortoise GIF.

The Hunt (2020) / int_d52d28b6	type	Hypocrite
The Hunt (2020) / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: When Staten Island reveals he owns several guns at home, the female gas station owner compares his right to own a firearm to the right of the people hunting him to own one. She fails to register a distinction between a right to self-defense and a right to hunt other people for sport and clearly conflates the two concepts. The liberal hunters dismiss their quarry as a bunch of racist rednecks. One of them comes up with the idea to pass himself off as a Muslim refugee when he is really a wealthy American man from Connecticut, which one could very much argue (certainly by their own standards) is racist. They actually lampshade it, but otherwise don't object to it. The conversation that some of the liberal hunters have in the bunker strongly suggests that they aren't any less prejudiced or bigoted towards minorities or gays. They're just practiced at concealing it under a surface observance of political correctness. The liberal hunters and conservative quarries together do indeed end up looking like Mirroring Factions. The line of conversation about Haiti in particular betrays beliefs that it's squarely up to rich white liberals to save underprivileged minorities from themselves as those minorities lack any capacity to deal with their own problems. The liberal hunters are definitely feeling the White Man's Burden. They pick Gary for the hunt partially because he runs a racist blog where he apparently blames immigrants for all of America’s problems. The fact that they blame the people they’re kidnapping for all of their problems (which are really their own fault) goes over their heads entirely.

The Hunt (2020) / int_e36de06c	comment	The movie opens with a group chat talking about having fun hunting down deplorables, then cuts to a private jet in flight. A random guy comes into the cabin disoriented and the passengers are aware of why he was there but skittish and sloppy about actually dealing with him, before Athena coldly kills him with a stiletto heel. They were not going on the hunt mentioned in the group text, that was literally a joke that got them, a bunch of corporate execs, fired. They then created their own Most Dangerous Game in a twisted form of revenge, they are not experienced hunters who have done this for years but amateurs way in over their head.
