i might just have shit media literacy but the movie was p liberal tbh, it mainly used revolutionaries as a set dressing for a father/daughter drama, and when it did portray them it portrayed them mostly as a bunch of dorks or it being sexual pathology, only the tendency-free sanctuary city operation and bringing your iphone to a protest were really portrayed positively
which is to say even that is better than 99% of hollywood revolutionary portrayal, a very low bar but still
Yeah my takeaway was it’s a great action flick, that happens to use some leftist framing but it’s not really a movie critiquing anything about society just sorta showing an interesting POV.
What it does do well, is that there’s no argument being made that the revolutionaries portrayed are gray morally or anything like that. The revolutionaries are the good guys and the US military are bad in this film, but it doesn’t waste a bunch of time trying to justify that, it’s just played as matter of fact. Which I think is neat
