The devil is in the details?

This isn’t really accurate. I agree with your sentiment on some level… But the swastika has existed for thousands of years in many different forms in many different cultures. It was co opted for sure, but not really changed. I agree that it is predominantly used as a hate symbol in modern culture, but it’s not quite as simple as you are putting it here, imho. Ancient Buddhist or Hindu temples shouldn’t be torn down because of a madman that stole a symbol nonsensically that had nothing to do with Aryan superiority. Might be nice if someday it could be rehabbed but certainly today, in America especially it is generally used as only meaning one thing. Not trying to be pedantic, it’s just not quite as cut and dry as you’re representing.

Don’t watch it passively then!

Go backwards and find the classics that speak to you then. For me good art is usually a little subversive, although there is nothing wrong with pure entertainment of course.

I’m guessing you’re a good bit younger than me, but this is encouraging to hear. Find your favorite genres, watch what inspired them and you have so much amazing artwork and storytelling to explore.

For everyone that grew up with 10 marvel movies a year its not surprising that modern films don’t speak to them.

Challenge yourself and you’ll find your own rewards. I love video games and watching youtube too, but it’s not the same thing as turning off the lights and watching something like Apocalypse Now, Chinatown or a Kubrick movie without distractions.

Good luck on your cinematic journey!
