Serenity: but not just for the obvious MK/ Monarch links. The cast speaks a blend of English and Chinese. I always saw that as a signal that China would be a super power one day.
It also showed a group of Freedom Fighters who went up against a Totalitarian government……and lost. Meaning: go ahead and fight us, you're going to lose.
Hollywood movies aren't entertainment. They're messages. For some, they're directives. For others, warnings. But they're ALL messages.
