    I mean the first film(retroactively called a new hopw) is a very on the nose Viet cong/NVA(the rebel alliance) vs the US(the empire) allegory

    but yeah in totality you’re right

        The allegory could be someone holding the camera to their face and literally saying “This movie is about how fucking bad amerikka is!” and they would still talk about how much like China the depicted dystopia actually was.
