The film was a striking portrayal of truth, albeit set in a futuristic world. To me, it felt like a symbolic representation of the oppressive imperialist West pitted against the collective resilience of the rest of humanity.
A striking example is at the beginning, where a Western leader claims their war is against AI, not New Asia. Yet, their actions contradict their words as they indiscriminately bomb innocent civilians, including women and children.
If this brings to mind a real-life situation unfolding today, I'll leave the connections for you to make.
