Possibly. The problem is that the founders decided to bake in armed revolt as a safe guard instead if, you know, reasonable solutions.

I don’t think this at all. It’s a very dense movie, but I don’t think it suffered for it, and if anything actually enhanced the message that a lot of social expectations are murky and arbitrary.

I’m planning on seeing it again.

I just treat most people like 16 year Olds and it tends to work out pretty well.

I thought the movie was exceedingly clever and is a shining example of how sometimes a message is more about what it doesn’t say that what it does.

That being said, the movie is definitely a rorschach test and you will see what you are primed to believe reflected in it.
