Surprisingly good take for the Guardian.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall hearing the words Marx or Marxism uttered even once in the film. The Queen's Gambit had more mentions of Marxism-Leninism.

    Dude isn't really a socialist but Tim Black had a pretty good breakdown of the movie. Was it perfect? No, of course not. If you really think that Hollywood is going to finance a movie that would truly undermine everything they stand for then you need to log off for a while and read. It was well done and definitely worth watching. Fred Hampton is one of those people who no matter how much I read about or listen to, I always feel like I'm hearing it for the first time. That's mostly because as a 90s suburban white kid I never even heard his name until I was 23, and even then had to dig to find good information on him. Like Tim says in the video, if this gets more people to look into who he is and what he stood for, then that's a good thing. Stop shitting on it.
