Part 5/7:
Themes and Controversy
At the core of the controversy are the themes portrayed in the movie, which include violent protests, xenophobic conspiracy theories, and racist conspiracies. Critics argue that such depictions are not only polarizing but dangerously echo real-world extremist ideologies. The portrayal of violent opposition to immigration and a clandestine racist group trying to "purify" America has drawn particular scrutiny.
Some viewers perceive these themes as a "leftist power fantasy," claiming they exaggerate or sensationalize political issues for shock value. Others believe that such narratives contribute to societal divisions rather than fostering understanding or nuanced discussion.
