More not-so-subtle agenda pushing from Hollywood

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2019)

This movie is waaay overrated. It is not a murder-mystery; it's yet another vehicle for Hollyweird to subtly push its liberal agenda. "Illegals are good; Americans are bad." That's the lesson. The illegal immigrant, or rather the daughter of an illegal immigrant, is literally painted as a saint. I can't count the times she's called "a good person." On the other hand, the American characters are painted as greedy, shallow, dishonest, and pathetic. This, juxtaposed with the immigrant saint is literally incapable of dishonest as she supposedly gets physically ill if she tries to lie.
The "mystery" part of the plot is solved almost halfway through. I thought it was clear then that that part of the story was secondary. It was obvious to me, with the way the writers went out of their way to inject political discussions especially about immigration, into random conversations, and readily mocked the apparent non-liberal characters. I can't believe more viewers didn't catch this.
In modern Hollyweird, the proselytizing comes first now, the art is secondary or tertiary. It was clear to me that "Knives Out" was simply a vehicle for a political agenda to be pushed. I should have known it would be, with TDS-stricken Chris Evans involved. But what a shame, as I was honestly looking forward to a legitimate murder-mystery. In my opinion, "Knives Out" was not that. I left the theater feeling duped.
