depends what you mean by taking on systems
They Live is about the best propaganda in film for class consciousness I can think of
I mean direct revolutionary calls to action. They Live is still cloaking itself in symbolism. Where's the cape shit where the hero turns around and destroys the status quo instead of defending it, and are viewed by a heroic lens
The Matrix.
Yeah, I was gonna post this further up. The Matrix is pretty much the definitive revolutionary blockbuster.
The Matrix is a movie about putting on fetish gear and shooting cops. I mean, how did this even get made?!
It's not even subtle about it either. My assumption has always been that studio execs were as distracted by the bullet time and stylish effects pitched as most of the teenage boys in the audience were.
Also about being trans/queer af while you do it.
Seriously, the trans themes are so fucking loud that the only way they were able to make it more clear in the new one was to hit you over the head with it.
Newest matrix rocks btw
