>> When he appeared in a movie as a pregnant high school student “She” decided to keep the baby in spite of the peer pressure. So was that her masculine side forcing her to have the kid? #FightThePatriarchy < /Sarc > In light of Georgia’s anti-abortion law, Diablo Cody said she would not have written Juno now that people perceive it as an “anti-choice” film. <<

That's true, the movie Juno comes across as a very pro-life message despite that obviously NOT being the intent of the liberal writer and the liberal ACTRESS starring in the movie (of course, if she had gotten an abortion, the movie would have been over after about 20 mins.)

That's one of the reasons I really enjoy the film, though there are a handful of other examples where Hollywood liberals unintentionally end up with conservative themes in their work:

- Spike Lee accidentally making BlacKKKlansman into a pro-police movie (while attempting to make it an anti-Trump hit piece with all the subtlety of a sledge hammer)

- Bohemian Rhapsody revolving around a straight love story and coming across as a cautionary tale of the destructive dead end that exploring homosexuality leads to (while intending to be a positive uplifting musical biopic about a "LGBTQ icon")

- The 2009 remake of "V" (timing is everything!) accidentally coming across as allegory about the insidious intent of the 0bama administration, and the Tea Party's efforts to expose the truth about 0bama.

And my all time favorite, the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Critical Care" comes across as a biting mockery of everything that is wrong with socialized medicine and universal health care, despite attempting to show the opposite!

John Carpenter intended They Live to be an indictment of the Reagan-Bush years (and homelessness etc) and right wing control of the media but it comes across quite differently when conservatives see it.

And how freaking scary is it when Obama hires Shepherd Fairey who stole the “This is your god” and “OBEY” slogans (and characters) for his graffiti posters and was hired by Barack Hussein Obama to make official campaign posters? And one of the variants has the OBEY logo!
