The entire movie is very much running with "Rich kid with issues beats on poor people" and constantly has characters and the plot force him to evolve past that, or at least, try to in a way that doesn't feel forced.

      It might be pretty lib to make the choice to begin with but plenty of reactionaries end up transitioning from legitimate systemic grievances to "we need to purge society of unclean elements"

      Also its about how its not heroic to just terrorize the lowest rungs of society through random acts of brutal violence, not that I have much hope that whatever film they make next with Pattinson will take care to remember that for when it needs a fight scene.
