There is certainly a place for movies that express a political worldview, and sometimes reflecting the politics of the moment can enhance a movie if it gets at something deep. Those aren't the only thing, or the most important thing about movies for me. But I have noticed I am a lot less interested in a lot of modern media because it seems so tied to the conversation of the moment (which is often over in two to three months). So I have taken to watching movies and shows about 6 months to a year after they come out. That helps because a lot of the conversation in the air around the film has died down, a lot of the cultural topics the film may have been trying to connect to have died down, and I feel like i can give the film a more honest and fair viewing.</p></blockquote><p></p>
