TRANSCRIPT

Uwe BollThe Best Director In The World(!)

By Connor Stannard

Who-we Boll?

A quick noteWhilst I understand films are subjective Uwe Boll is a man who’s best movie rates on average a 5.7/10. The movie? Rampage where the entire story can be summed up in its description: A man with a thirst for revenge builds a full body armor from Kevlar and goes on a killing spree.

Uwe Boll is comparable to Donald Trump, he speaks his mind and is generally disliked.

Vide-Uwe Game Adaptations are HardWell Video games are really known for their story the majority of the time and even the ones that are:.. ALL games are interactive because that's the point. But Films however are in no way directly interactive, its essentially the difference between being a character and making choices and changing the world around you or watching someone else do it.

Uwe Boll’sCareer

But in February 2004, the Inland Revenue announced that it was closing a loophole in the tax relief arrangements to prevent tax avoidance schemes. These schemes used the provisions in the Finance Act to encourage the investment of lump sums in the certainty of reducing tax liabilities, regardless of whether the film made a profit. The closing of this and other loopholes in 2004 caused the immediate collapse of a number of film projects in production or pre-production at the time, and the resulting uncertainty contributed to a downturn in film production, with employment dropping by 33 per cent between 2003 and 2008.

A Kick(starter) In the BollsAfter Europe fixed the loopholes in its film industry, a third of the continents people employed in the film industry had been left jobless, including Uwe boll as now investors wont give him any more money…. So what does Uwe do? He turns to crowdfunding!

Which unsurprisingly didnt work out.

As it relied on people liking you...

There was literally a petition to get rid of him.

-The actual number of signatures reached was over 300,000

Raging Boll

Uwe boll on several occasions has fought is critics, literally boxed them in a ring surrounded by an audience. This was some form of publicity stunt that simply made people even more unhappy with him f that was even possible. He fought a total of 4 people; Richard Kyanka, Jeff Sneider Chris Alexander and Nelson Minter, not you would recognise any of the ames they are all web critics who gave negative reviews of the film Bloodrayne.Believe it or not, experienced boxer beat all four critics back to back and proved pretty much nothing.

(The documentary made of this event ironically is his second highest rated film)
