    So, the director hid a swastika in one of the shadows to indicate that he thought the society was evil, among a ton of other things. He talked about it in the director’s commentary. But yeah, it’s actually super easy to miss unless you know it’s actually a warning (which, like you said, the teenage boys it’s marketed to wouldn’t understand)… Which is kind of the problem with a lot of media, like the entire genre of cyberpunk.

      He also didn’t even bother to finish the book he was making a movie about, so it’s clear how he thought the story went.

        I mean he had read the recently released novel and started asking around for someone to pay for him to make it into a movie. So maybe you are making a “clever” quip about how he must not have read the ending to get it that wrong but that’s not how your message sounded with that wording.
