Sometimes a movie is just a movie.
"Sometimes a movie is just a movie."
Seldom is a movie just a movie.
I lived in Hollywood briefly years ago---hoping to have an acting career.
During that little bit of time-- hanging out on the edges of the entertainment industry-- I found out that Hollywood writers, producers, directors will use various ways to include their "messages" in the film or TV show.
Whether it be plainly spoken in the script or a more subtle means, Hollywood's great work of propaganda goes on. Sometimes a movie is full of it, sometimes they just throw in bits every now and then.
Once you realize this is going on, you can easily spot their "messages" in every movie or TV program. It gets to be laughable sometimes---they just can't help themselves. They are determined to turn the rest of the country (and the world) into a replica of Hollywood, the home of no morals and the lover of every religion except Christianity.

I can roll with that, but this was a wildly overpraised just-a-movie. I saw it based on the 93% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes, along with a glowing review from one of my customers.
I found myself having to work hard to see the film as the "genius" piece of art I was told it was. It really is pretty ridiculous if you watch it unhazed by the hype.
But yes, it is just a movie. My life has not been damaged by it.
