I think all movies have a message to pass on. Some messages are more noble than others.
Like many propaganda Nth Korean or German WW2 movies, can't GWTW be construed as a white patriarchal supremacist propaganda movie of its era?
And if so, do we still want to call it art for portraying a skewed version of reality.
I can't see black people watching it as a fictional piece for artistic pleasure when it has such deep real world connotations.
How does one differentiate the two?
I genuinely don't know what the answer is.
On some level, I suspect a skewed version of reality is kind of an inherent part of art. People make art, and NOBODY has a truly unbiased look at the world. It's always skewed towards some lens that distorts it in some way.
