TPMP: tense debate between Matthieu Delormeau and Guillaume Genton around the war in Ukraine (video)

It’s hard to miss this shocking video that has been circulating since Friday March 11 on social networks. Bombed Eiffel Tower, lamentation of the sirens, clouds of black smoke, crying children…this is what the French capital would look like if it found itself attacked, like Ukraine currently. The video, although false, is strikingly realistic, to the point of causing panic on the Web. “It’s something I wanted to do (…) to give a shock to the West“, explains Olias Barco, the author of the video, to Le Monde.For me, we are in a third world war and this conflict will become general. It’s a science fiction film, not a propaganda film.“The man, a French director and film producer living in kyiv, explains that he chose the city of Paris since that is where he comes from.”I wanted to highlight Parisian monuments while keeping the way of filming specific to social networks, to show that it could and was going to happen in Paris. People I work with and live with are falling one after another because the sky is filled with missiles and no one is doing anything. This film, I made it in rage. We gotta step in, we gotta shut down this fucking sky“, he lets go.

Matthieu Delormeau: “The whole world lies down before a dictator”

The extremely controversial video was the subject of debate on Monday in TPMP, in particular between Guillaume Genton and Matthieu Delormeau. “It’s going too far, this video is catastrophic“, launches Guillaume Genton. “At the time of deepfake, we no longer know what is true or not true. It’s scary, it maintains an anxiety-provoking climate. And I find it extremely awkward as a way to communicate, it’s not because a country knows the horror that you have to imagine the horror in another country, with a borderline threatening tone. What’s the understatement?“Words that made Matthieu Delormeau react.”I’m hallucinated by what Guillaume says: ‘it scares people, they don’t know if it’s fake or not fake’…You always think that people are dumber than you“, launches the columnist to his colleague, before adding: “Do you know what this video means? She means that right now the whole world is lying to a dictator, and we need some kind of Winston Churchill. Afterwards, I’m sorry to know that it ruined your evening, really!”
