    maybe...

    For a part of public - a warning. For other - a parody. Or example of dark humor. Or verdict about contemporary school. In fact, a story about political correctness . Its demons. Its sins. Its configuration under the pressure of media. All - so simple. And creepy. The temptation of the left to create a happy society. New directions in education. The desire to propose equality of chances. And the little hell who has as root the relativation. The student first ! That could be one of inspired sketches about near future.

    A very intelligent film.

    The first time I watched it, I didn't know how to feel. I thought, "Isn't this video attacking what we are fighting for nowadays?" It seemed to be making fun of equality, racism, and other political issues.

    But no. I watched it again now, and all I could do is appreciate the beauty of this film. I hope everyone will understand the deep meaning of this film.

    Amazing and really, really scary!

    To get an idea of what this is all about, just Imagine what George Orwell would write, if he ever wrote 1984 volume 2...

    And all that in a 7 min film!

    Kudos Mr. Kolhatkar

    Dull and malicious

    This is a total distortion of equal rights movement. It portraits the leftists to be fascist but in fact in Charlottesville it was the white supremacists who killed.

    "Political correctness" can be inconvenient at times, but that is the price we must pay to build a better tomorrow. What if we just give up the notion of "political correctness"? Neel Kolhatkar, you will be driven outside of Australia and regret about what the film you have directed.

    An Honest Review

    I caught this on the Youtube, after seeing some of his stand up, particularly the comparison of Sleeping Beauty to Bill Cosby, which was completely inappropriate and absolutely hysterical...

    ...and I am happy to say that it is just as dark and hysterical as most of the rest of his pieces.

    And really that appeals to me, one of the reviewers here called it Orwellian I believe, and yes, it is darkly Orwellian...but it's also comedically Orwellian.

    And, honestly, I think it does have a point. Dark humor has been shunned by the PC crowd as if they can't take a joke that is intentionally off color and disturbing for the sake of humor.

    Even gallows humor seems to be under attack.

    It is a political piece...but the main draw is that dark humor, which ruled a lot of the 90s, but seems to be frowned upon now.

    Ultimately, I really think that, yeah, dark+humor=hysterical. Don't let the politics get in the way, it still entertains. Especially with the war on comedy as it is.
