      Literally can't hit people over the head with a giant rock sized metaphor in the third act for some people to get it.

        I watched that movie with my Dad who's a Trump supporter and after the sequence at the end where the son imagines getting rich and buying the house my dad yelled out "Why wasn't that your plan from the beginning?" It doesn't matter how obvious a movie's message is, it will be misunderstood by those who don't want to hear it.

          Yeah absolutely. I always go back to Starship Troopers. They literally have NPH walk out in full SS regalia during a Nazi funeral and people still don't get it if they don't want to.

      People don't know what anti-capitalism even looks like, so they don't recognize it. Even anti-capitalist leftist fall into liberal/capitalist tactics trying to combat it. Shit's ingrained yo.

      people didn't get the hunger games. it was as unsubtle as possible, and they still sold a capital line of jewelry and people dressed up as effie trinket and caesar flavian or whatever on the news and did not at all introspect they were doing exactly what the evil people were doing.

      It's not about not getting it at this point it's about not THINKING about it. They do not look beyond the face value. There is not massage only entertainment. They watch this shit with no in dept though behind what's a actually going on. That what capitalism does to your brain.
