I guess I don’t like the idea of cultivating a climate of fear and oppression. But the conclusion and warning could not be more clear: do not go near this with a ten foot pole. Honestly, given Stern’s clear and present white hot hatred for Shapiro, it’s kind of remarkable it’s such a balanced piece, with quotes from the Daily Wire and everything. The Daily Beast’s headline now after the Daily Wire picked it up for distribution: The Daily Beast’s headline when Run Hide Fight first showed at Venice: This past week he trended for three days in a row for three different reasons. Yes, The Daily Wire, which was started by that troublemaker Ben Shapiro who seems to trend every other day on Twitter over some provocative thing he said. It seems that the Daily Beast was fine with the movie until The Daily Wire picked it up. But that would be too inconvenient a point to make in a story that is a signal to everyone on the left who watches movies or covers movies: do not talk about this, do not mention it, or else you are going to tarnished. You’d think, given that their own paper ran what appears to be a near rave of the film, that Marlowe Stern, the author of the hit piece, would at least mention that. But overall, it ticks the boxes of a high-pulse action film that is disturbingly relevant and revealing. This film will easily trigger some and anger others. Once the shooting starts, Zoe and Lewis are separated, leading to predictable moments of tension and an equally predictable teenage kissing scene. As the yearbook editor, Lewis ends up being chosen by the killers to livestream the whole thing on the school’s social media accounts. Zoe’s best friend is a Black student named Lewis Washington, played by Olly Sholotan, who’s ruined her lunch by asking her to the prom when it’s clear Zoe doesn’t want the relationship to veer that way. Zoe has conversations with her mom who appears at various stages of her cancer throughout the film, which sometimes work well, but other times prove a distraction. Dad, played by Thomas Jane, is a former special forces sharpshooter who can’t cope with an 18-year-old daughter on his own and has anger issues and a serious chip on his shoulder. ![]() Mom has died of cancer and their only child, Zoe Hull (Isabel May), just can’t let her go. It doesn’t even have an anti-gun slant, and instead opens with a scene of a teenage girl, in mourning over the loss of her mother, shooting a deer under her father’s delicate guidance.ĭespite this shocking and at times very disturbing backdrop, the movie is actually about a family consumed by grief, and interracial teenage love. VENICE-It took two full hours to stop thinking about Kyle Rankin’s 109-minute masterful mindfuck called Run Hide Fight, named after the mantra kids are taught to remember in order to survive school shootings in America.īut the film is surprisingly not really about school shootings. At least they haven’t taken the review down, considering. You’d never know that the movie the Daily Beast just took direct aim to shoot down was also reviewed favorably by the Daily Beast when it first premiered at Venice.
