Western parody
Bully: “The Woke movement itself is a good thing”
“The canoe of the Manitu” is a western parody that plays lustfully with clichés. Some love it, others are critical. The filmmaker Michael Bully Herbig pleads for one thing.
According to the filmmaker Michael Bully Herbig, debates in Germany should be managed more relaxed. “The situation has to level off a bit again and people have to listen a little more again. It’s actually not that difficult,” said the director of the German Press Agency on the occasion of the cinema of his comedy “Das Canu des Manitu”.
The film is the continuation of the western parody “The Schuh des Manitu”, which is one of the most successful German movies. Herbig sees that awareness of injustices, hurtful or racist representations have grown. “The Woke movement itself is a good thing,” he says. “But it’s like with everyone in life: when it is exaggerated, it tilts in the other direction.”
The 57 -year -old advocates serenity – on both sides. “It is just as wrong if you have skin on everything you find shit today and say that this is Woke.”
“The canoe of the Manitu” starts on August 14th in the cinemas. One thing is surprising, said Herbig: “The fact that we were obviously not believed to be creative and refined with it, but it is first knocked on it”. There are almost only stubborn views. “Instead of saying:” Now we’ll make a nice film and then let’s take a look at it “.”
