Uwe Boll Video Interview Part 2 On His Film Philosophy, Answering His Critics
Director Uwe Boll has won the moniker “Raging Boll” due to his fighting matches with critics. In fact in 2006, Boll challenged five of his toughest critics to a boxing match in which the director ended up defeating all five. “I’ve also answered very unfair reviewers and I answer on the same level,” Boll told uInterview exclusively. “If somebody talks back to me, I talk back … I’m not the guy you can just bash into the ground.”
It is this same tough attitude that led Boll to direct Assault on Wall Street, in which protagonist Jim (Dominic Purcell) goes after big bankers in a revenge fantasy. And Boll is fighting mad again about the state of democracy in the U.S. “Democracy means not that the government isn’t doing anything,” he told uInterview. “Democracy means that the government has to regulate what is really fair for everybody.”
