Switzerland needs to be more diverse and apparently a movie about the life of William Tell also needs to be more diverse. Someone took a look at the legend of William Tell and decided, “this needs more Muslims.”
And there we are.
The new movie adaptation of the legend of William Tell throws in some added material by giving him a Muslim family.
Here we encounter the now classic representation of The Crusades: a confused, savage conflict, in which the Muslim Jerusalemites are terrorized by Christian men-at-arms. We see the injured Tell is nursed by Muslim civilians; we eventually see that he bolts down a fellow crusader to save his own Muslim savior…
This adaptation centres on the story of Tell turning on his own in order to save a woman named Suna who is under attack from European soldiers… We meet Tell as he returns to Switzerland as a staunch pacifist and starts a family with Suna, his now wife, played by Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani
It’s a radical departure from the previous depictions of Tell’s wife, usually presented as a white Swiss woman named Hedwig who stays out of the action or cowers on the periphery as her husband takes aim at perilously placed fruit. In Hamm’s version she’s a far more formidable force, showing great wisdom and impressive fighting skills
And even more diversity…
In Hamm’s adaptation, he reminds us of the historical truth that there were different races, religious sects and orders across the European continent all those centuries ago. The character of Furst, for example, is played by Amar Chadha-Patel (The Creator, Dashcam) as a highly skilled warrior from the Middle East — though he’s often depicted as a Caucasian character, typically a Swiss Catholic priest.
There were always different races…. in Switzerland? In the 14th century?
It’s not just wokeness though, it’s wokewashing. If you’re going to take what is basically the Swiss version of Robin Hood and turn it into the Swiss version of Mel Gibson’s The Patriot, someone may notice that you have no original ideas, but throw in some ‘diversity’ and suddenly your material is fresh and edgy.
Which is why when it comes to modern entertainment, assume it’s woke until proven otherwise.
But this is still way too conservative.
In the next adaptation, William Tell will be a black woman to remind us that there were always many races in Switzerland in 1307.
They never change, do they?
Deranged people never do.
omg, what stupidity.
The interesting thing about the Swiss during that period was that their pikemen were considered the best soldiers in Europe. Even the German pikemen, who hated them, were considered inferior to the Swiss.
Yeah, those Pikemen weren’t pikers. Those guys went on to be the Pontifical Swiss Guard at the Vatican, as you know. They must hate guarding the Moslem loving Pope Commie but he’s dying so maybe the Council of Cardinals will choose somebody based on merit this time, instead of an open borders fanatic who worked to have Catholic Latin Americans conquer the real America demographically.
Yeah, the Swiss Pikemen were also good at strategy and tactics. Quite interesting. If they didn’t get paid they just quit 🙂
“Pay us what we’re owed or fight your own fucking war!” That’s funny.
Alexander the Great’s army relied on “Pikemen” for his phalanxes too but they called their pikes “sarissas” and he would modify them as necessary for different battles, just like adopted to every obstacle. He inherited his Sarissa armed phalanxes from his pops, Philip II, as I’m sure you know. Phil was a real innovator when it came to warfare. It’s pretty hard to beat an enemy who can stab your guys in their heads from three rows deep.
Thank God I never had to fight in an army like that or any other. When we were younger, most of us guys wanted to fight for glory (I tried to enlist but was rejected because I was an undesirable who went joy riding at age 18) but now we’re more risk averse and think more of watching our asses. Not everything about getting old is bad. We’ve always valued our lives but now we appreciate them more because we’ve managed to preserve them this long. There are still a lot of chicks out there and I think I’m going to take up drinking beer again. There are plenty of good bottles waiting for me with the chicks. The one I’m usually with now has us drink Swiller™ beer out of big 32 oz cans but that’s a start. 😛
Hopefully the D-Bags won’t manipulate beer prices way up the way they have eggs. The prices of chicken meat haven’t gone up, I’ve noticed, so we know price manipulation is to blame. Meat chickens can get avian flu just as easily as egg hens but you can get boneless chicken leg meat for only $2.50 a lb.
Yeah, it made me laugh too. If they didn’t get paid they would just march off home back to Switzerland and no one could stop them 🙂
If anything, William Tell will need his arrows to repel an invasion by a Muslim horde.
Just another woke movie I won’t be watching. Angel Studios seems to be putting out some good stuff though. Nothing woke in their productions.
Yes, the “woke” movie makers never learn. This offensive movie has already bombed and it hasn’t even come out yet. Blacks and islamopithecines in nearly every historical drama? The public doesn’t watch that shit. A black Achilles, Djimon Hounsou in King Arthur’s Court, “Bridgeport,” etc? “Go woke, go broke,” as a smart guy likes to say.
And the actor who plays William Tell looks about as Swiss as a foaming mug of camel piss and a wussy besides.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
– George Orwell
The party didn’t count on President Trump, thank God. The Dirtbagocrat party and its “woke” base almost had us in Oceania for a minute there.
I want to write more satire about movie industry casting, but there is nothing more absurdly idiotic than what they are already doing.
Yes, how can we mock something that mocks itself?
…with mirrors…
Don’t forget the lurid casting couch
It looks like the producers cast the Billy Tell actor’s mother as the love interest. I think I would avoid that casting couch. Bring me in when a movie about the Copper tone bikini models or Thai Go-Go dancers is being cast.
Wait till you see what they do to 007.
Islamic countries are sending their population into western nations. For every one child a native has, the muslims have 3-4.
They go on government assistance, and the native born have to pay for their extended families.
If you notice there are no Muslims going into other Muslim nations.
Once in the country, they start spouting how they want sharia law.
Since atleast Munich islam has found the soft under belly of western culture ripe for the picking. All the while their throat slitters were doing their allah given right to do their throat slitting the core of the cult was busy cultivating the spineless west from govenment to the arts. Even making alliances with islams hated folks in the race or homosexual ghettos. The next four years are going to be the road to our collective future as free men.
Clown behind this nonsense didn’t get the memo that “diversity” is a dead-end street. Laughable.
From the same cesspool of woke ideology that insists men are women-if they just close their eyes and wish…..we now have muslims as a part of Swiss society…and victims too? This is instead of the Moors actually invading and slaughtering their way across most of the known world as victimizers.
At this juncture, I see no utility in criticizing the movie industry. They’re not worth the time or neural energy. Contemplating my navel or counting the hairs on the back of my hand is more interesting…..
we need to kill it dead or force it to change
I like your first idea better but will settle for the second one if the first one isn’t doable.
Movie “Deplorable Boy” is about eight year old Adrian who is so full of hijinks and fun as to be called deplorable by the adults. But it is his very energy and drive that saves the ranch.
We need venues which will show good AND interesting films which are decent.
AND though I am called crazy by some of my friends for suggesting this: I think that there should be special showings of films which are often annoying … but … which nevertheless make our point for us (conservatives/traditionalists). We should slap “R” ratings on these showings, and ask forbearance from natural allies.
• one of the best examples of the above would be showings of “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, which was released as the groundbreaking film of its time for a rather tepid homosexual relationship… but was in its totality an accidental chronicle of THE LEFT’s running out of steam in the UK in the early 1970s.
…”Sunday Bloody Sunday” was accidentally revealing, …and I note that it isn’t shown anymore in leftie venues, nor to leftie film students.

If there are other films available on DVD which any of YOU can recommend to ME along these lines, please share.
The film that Tom Hulce made about Stalin’s personal film projectionist, for example. Buried Treasure.
In the words of Eric Cartman: “Make it a chick. And make her gay!”
next up
Just leave it to them to rewrite a legend to meet their goals next on line will be Robin Hood
I’m surprised they haven’t given Uncle Sam a black moslem makeover yet.
“Uncle Sambo vs. Rambo” ?
Only western histories and myths suffer this indignation, but the impetus is always, at core, the same: envy of the towering superiority of western civilization and shame at the dearth of all other civilizations by comparison. Proverbs 27: 4 says,
“Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?”
Envy is much worse than jealousy because it rots our very bones (Proverbs 14: 30). According to GotQuestions.org, “Jealousy is a reaction to the fear or threat of losing something, or often someone, we possess. Envy is the distress or resentment we feel when others have what we have not.”
That envy against western civilization and her people will only be sated when we no longer exist, and for some horrible reason, we seem to have lost the will to survive as a people. As Stephen Wolfe says, we are our ingroup’s only outgroup.
We will be forever changed by permitting masses of invaders to live among us and change our laws, customs, history and heritage.
The Amazon Prime version of King David has Muslims in the roles of Biblical characters.
Well, obviously they teleported more than a thousand years into the past.
And that would be one of the countless reasons I don’t subscribe to Amazon Prime or any other streaming service. That and the fact that there are free streaming sites that “borrow” from Amazon Prime and the other pay per view sites at will.
If I want to read about moslems in the Bible, I’ll read the bits which feature Satan, the founder of islam.
Until then I’ll just gloat because President Trump appointed Dan Bongino as Deputy Director of the FBI. Hopefully he and Director Patel will go after CAIR for its patent support of jihad, sharia and most every islamic terrorist group extant. I bet Amazon Prime is breaking some laws too………….
Yeah, appointing Bongino was very cool 🙂
The D-Bags and their Minitrue Media are yowling that Bongino has no law enforcement experience, LOL! I guess they miss sleazy lawyer liars like those arch D-Bags, Christopher Gay and James Cummy.
Hard to top, “My Lady Jane,” which portrayed 16th Century King Edward as a gay black man in a wheelchair. No doubt this nonsense will bemuse future historians.
Ah, Amazon Prime. Peak wokeness and endless money. Just wait to see what they do with James Bond.
Pamela Bondi. Now that would be a movie.
Bond, Jane Bond, XX-7.
“A muff martini. Licked, not stirred.”
Question: How many HellyWeird mogul pedophiles molesting boys and girls does it take to produce a movie with DEI, transgender, drag queens to pander to the smallest minority of world citizens for movies that will never become classics?
Answer: All of them.
The copyright on Billy Don’t Ask Don’t Tell has long expired to the public domain = Disney has always been weird and frankly, children watching too many Disney fairy tails made more gays and lesbians and Tinker Bell Peter Pans than the drag queen story hour and other subliminal and overt groomers in public schools.
This may not be a Disney corp movie but it’s HellyWeird which are people who sold their souls in the demonic industry of entertainment and movies.
Frankly I am more interested who is doing things right and positive and pointing out the stupidity of the leftards is pandering to their lying about what the MAGA crowd is producing.
I don’t need garbage in my mind – so I ignore the lies of the devil.
I don’t want one negative thought entering my head daily.
What most people do not want is to change their MINDSETS and to get out of the negative morass they have learned from generation to generation and public school education.
I know, I was groomed the same way.
Positive and Negative cannot co-exist in the same house or person. And I’m not referring to magnetic or electrical charges.
The interesting thing is that this is nothing new for Hollyweird. Many of Hollyweird’s biggest male and female stars from times past were homosexuals and pedophiles and the producers were just as bad or worse.
It’s no secret that homosexuals, pedophiles and a sundry of freaks and perverts and people with serious mental issues gravitate towards Hollyweird and the entertainment industry in general.
I would even argue that such people also gravitate towards politics but I digress.
I remember, years ago, trying to force myself to listen to the far-left “Democracy Now” on Pacifica radio. Tariq Ramadan, the execrable grandson of Hassan al-Bana, co-founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, was the featured guest. He was introduced as being Swiss. That was enough – I turned off the radio. Too grotesque for me to continue listening.
Democracy Now is pretty much Jihad/Marxist Terror Now.
Yeah, I remember Pacifica radio. The last thing I remember listening to was a session with Chrissie Hynde, I think.
With a title like “Democracy Now,” I know it’s a steaming pile to avoid.
At least two Robin Hood movies included a Muslim character. In one, Morgan Freeman played a Moor who somehow owed a debt to Robin. In another, Jamie Fox played a Muslim Jerusalemite whose son Robin tried to save, so another debt. And Fox of course was the superior warrior, who trained Robin in the fighting skills.
Indeed. The movie is shamelessly borrowing this backstory from the Robin Hood Muslim inserts.
Freeman’s character was accepted in England c. 1189 instead of discriminated against. Maid Marian was just Marian to ignore the idea of maidenhood. Marian was not merely protected. She was able to punch out a man with sound effect power. That was 1991 perspective imposed back 800 years. The idea that we are better now is less convincing if the past is “cleaned up” to look “better.”
I’m waiting for a Swiss movie about Muslim contributions to the development of the Swiss watch industry—more specifically, a cuckoo clock. No, not the clockwork—the sound.
That clock is suitable for Adam Schiff. He emerges on the hour to announce the time with “I have proof!” the number of times the hour requires.
Hollywood keeps producing CRAP so at least we all know where NOT to step.
I can still remember the story of Little Black Sambo His Clothes those Tigers chasing themselves around the tree they melted into Butter his Father collected the Tiger Butter his Mother made Pancakes and Sambo ate 100 Pancakes and the Sambos resturuants
I used to like Sambo’s restaurants when I was a kid. It was one of the first businesses to fall victim to the stupid censorship of the left, way back in 1981. The entire company was forced to declare bankruptcy by the left-wing scum brigades.
And Sambo from the old kid’s fable was a kid from India, not a black kid, hence the tiger in the story. The restaurants had wallpaper with paintings of the story and Sambo was obviously Indian and was even depicted with a turban to remove all doubt from reasonable and non-insane people that the character wasn’t black.
Now, Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, the Indian maiden from Land O’ Lakes butter have all been “cancelled” by the woke trads. Very many people like me will never buy those brands again. I notice none of the black chefs are taking their names off their barbecue sauce and other products, Chef Boy-Ar-Dee is still around, Zatarains has a silhouette of black jazz trumpeter and the Mexicans sure as Hell aren’t going to take Rosarita and her sombrero off their bean cans.
All woketards must die.
I would love to produce a new biographical epic of the life of Martin Luther King with the starring role played by a Japanese transgender midget, all in the name of diversity
What is next? Christopher Columbus portrayed by a Taino who finds people with Spanish names in America? How about humans from space landing on earth to discover earthlings are all devils, not just the presently scapegoated identities?
That’s a story line that has possibilities 🙂
