I'm not sure what 'film' America is trying to be but I've seen plenty of real life references that could have come straight from either the Handmaids Tale, Idiocracy, The Dead Zone or Civil War the past few years. Life does seem to imitate art sometimes.
Plenty of Do Not Look Up in there as well on a lot of topics.
No, the art is calling out what’s always been there but you didn’t notice.
