    English speaking people largely don't want a revolution, the amount of people who do is so small that there isn't a market for commodified froms of entertainment under the capitalist mode of production. The amount is so small that the size of the talent pool limits the amount of independently developed art I'd expect to see even. This is slowly shifting, but you usually end up with something "progressive" with an anti-capitalist veneer if you're lucky (I know Boots is cool, but maybe Sorry To Bother You fits in here?).

    "Revolutionary" is still a step too far and sounds pretty crackpot to most English speakers

      It's not even tha they don't want. They don't know if they want or not, and all they want is that change to status quo == ebil

      Revolutionary themed films are insanely popular, when made. See Star Wars.

      That may play a role in why they aren’t often made.

      Nah.

      People who fund movies don't want a revolution.
