Hollywood consistently gets them wrong. Treats them as incredible simple, flat, and with no nuance. "Kill The Rich. A New Movement?" is the headline of the newspaper, and that's more or less what the movement amounts to. When the movie isn't dealing with the "movement" specifically, it does an okay job at laying out what the frustrations of the people are. Funding cuts to public services, the arrogance of the rich. But when dealing with the movement itself? It's just "kill the rich" and Joker is a hero for doing so. No, that's not how that works. Protests treated as warzones and protesters shown as violent, unlawful, unrepentant. I'm sick of that shit.
