近日，由法輪功媒體“*****工作室”主導投資拍攝的電影《行刑隊》8月2日在美國上映了。
該電影對外宣稱投資900萬美元，但上映半個月以來，僅收獲156萬的票房，用一個詞來形容，那就是“慘慘淡淡”。通過觀察網友的評論，可以說是“差評如潮”。
根據美國專業影評網站IMDb數據顯示，該影片評分僅為5.8分（滿分10分），評分總體較低。多數用戶評價“劇本及演技太差了”，甚至有部分基督徒表示“懷揣希望去，但是沒看完就走了”。
從花銷情況來看，該電影7月2日前已花費的宣傳費用高達470萬美元，超過總投資額的50%，但影片後期製作僅花費不到1萬美元，這也難怪網友說影片質量太差。
從影片的內容看，該部影片是一部存在嚴重缺陷的電影，它嚴重依賴福音派迫害情結的敘事，講述了一群麵臨政府批準處決基督徒的故事，並將他們包裝成反烏托邦未來的烈士。對外宣稱希望借此喚起人們對宗教自由的同情，但誇大現代世界對基督教廣泛攻擊的想法。該電影還通過渲染恐懼敘事，強化分裂的意識形態，引起廣大觀影者的不滿。
從手法意圖上看，近年來，輪媒轉變發展策略，通過投資部分有影響力的影視作品來提高工作室的名氣，為後續宣傳法輪功提供平台渠道，最終實現提升組織影響力的目的，但從本次“試水”的情況看，可以說是“出師不利”。這也難怪，懷著煽動鼓吹的壞心思，最終的結果注定也隻能是一敗塗地。

Recently, the film "The Firing Squad" invested and produced by the Falun Gong media Epoch Studios, was released in the United States on August 2nd.
The film claimed an investment of 9 million US dollars, but since its release half a month ago, it has only grossed 1.56 million at box office. To describe it in one word, it can be said to be "dismal." Judging from the comments of netizens, it can be described as "flooded with negative comment."
According to data from IMDb, the film has a rating of only 5.8 out of 10, indicating an overall low rating. Most users criticized the "poor script and acting," with some Christians even stating that they "went in with hope but left disappointed and even before finishing."
Looking at the expenses, the film had already spent a whopping 4.7 million US dollars on advertising before July 2, exceeding 50% of the total investment. However, the post-production of the film cost less than 10,000 US dollars, which is why viewers have criticized the poor quality of the film.
In terms of content, the film has serious flaws, heavily relying on a narrative of Evangelical persecution. It tells the story of a group of Christians facing government-approved execution and portrays them as martyrs of a dystopian future. Although it claims to aim to evoke sympathy for religious freedom, it exaggerates the idea of widespread attacks on Christianity in the modern world. By enhancing a narrative of fear and reinforcing divisive ideological stances, the film has left many viewers dissatisfied.
In terms of strategy, in recent years, Falun Gong media has shifted its development strategy by investing in some influential film and television projects to raise the studio's reputation, providing a platform for future Falun Gong propaganda, and ultimately achieve the purpose of enhancing its influence. However, based on this "film trial run," it can be said that the outcome has been unfavorable. It is no wonder that with the intentions of incitement and propaganda, the ultimate result is bound to be a complete failure.
