Beware of entering the mind of an evil person. As witness to Sicily’s current immigrant situation in this adaption of the novel based upon actual news, we become immured within the mind of one of the most evil beings since Cain killed Abel.
To tell the story so that it will be remembered is the ultimate goal of the movies and of all storytelling. This one sears your mind and leaves an indelible mark upon it. Beyond the psychological disturbance of the protagonist, the whole business that revolves around immigration is depicted in a way we have never before considered. The capitalistic exploitation of death itself in the movie includes the illegal enslavement of the masses of immigrants. “Caina” takes this basically free labor pool and adds value by their deaths. It is cheaper and easier to capitalize off the peoples’ deaths than to keep them alive and integrate them into a growing economy.

“The Simpsons” may be 28 seasons in, but a funny new short proves that the show still knows how to provoke controversy, even amongst a loyal fan base.
In “Homer Votes 2016,” the Simpsons patriarch heads to the poll with Hillary on the brain, as “[she’s] the candidate who forgave her husband no matter what he did, not the guy who really likes his daughter.”
He’s then confronted by a disguised Vladimir Putin, whose motivation for voter fraud is clear: “The orange man, he will build a wall to keep out beauty queens who eat too much. Plus, he has a plan to make Russia great again!”
The clip has amassed hundreds of heated comments on YouTube, with fans arguing as to who Homer would actually vote for. The likes and dislikes on the video are also in an even split, because nothing is bringing America together on the internet quite like this year’s election.
