I feel that people who take the arts at University tend to overthink things. They apply some of their readings onto things where it need not be applied.
I recently re-watched on of my favourite horror movies from Sweden called "Let the Right One In" and i watched a review of the film that spent an eternity describing how the director didn't handle gender and transgender issues properly in the context of the vampire genre.
I listened for a bit and thought the director or the the original writer of the novel probably had zero concept of any of these issues while writing the book/screenplay. It is the viewer applying all these external intellectual exercises and reading into things this theoretical knowledge into things.
And when everything becomes a Social Justice issue to fight then the REAL injustices will get lumped into the white noise.
People need to ignore the fluff and get to the real injustices. But hey - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sure is awesome to say and read. Wolfy baby. Say his name! Say it or else no Magic Flute for you.
