I think he is the kinda person that doesn't have anything close to a coherent ideology, but has ended up being correct about a lot of things because of experience/knowing lots of people/traveling lots. Killers of the Flower Moon is the kind of movie you wouldn't expect a reactionary to make.

He's always been a standard American Catholic lib. So he's a reactionary insofar as he's those other things.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if he read it purely as part of his study of cinema. Kim Jong Il directed a ton of films for the DPRK's state film studio, so he definitely has a unique perspective on the art form that a serious director would be interested in.

I'm assuming this is a "classic"

If you like socialism so much why don't you move to North Korea!?

bit and almost nobody is this comment section got it
