But I do have somewhat of a problem with the ultimate message of the movie, which is basically “both sides are wrong, the real answer is always in the middle.”
That’s not the message at all.
I saw someone online complaining about DJ’s line “You blow them up today, they blow you up tomorrow” line, saying it was a “terrible message.” This is obviously ignoring the fact that literally the next line in the movie is a hero saying “You’re wrong.” But of course if they acknowledged that there wouldn’t be anything to whine about.
