Just finished Kill List on this thread's recommendation... Can someone give their take on it? I mean, I get that it's essentially a hitman movie filmed like a horror movie. Very clever, very well made, very unsettling... Can someone walk me thru their interpretation of what the titular list was all about and what they think the ending meant? The film obviously dealt heavily with themes of religion and class, I sort of took the list to be an "initiation" of sorts. As in, the main character had to put a bullet in his country's Religion, in its Vices, in its Elite, and finally in his own family to be crowned some sort of Neitzchean ubermensch. I'm just curious as to what everyone else got out of it, besides it being just a very well crafted thriller.

Same here. I love the technique that went into it, but as a cohesive cinema experience, it was really missing something for me

Ulio posted:But a dark comedy ultimately has a meaningful premise or message it wants to deliver. What is this movie about? Racism? Cults? If it is on racism that has to be the most cartoonish look on racism ever. Basically white people want to enslave black people. I don't think racism today has anything to do with that and more about class divide in some states. Whoops it was one of the best horror/thrillers of the last decade!
