10 Brilliant Films Used as Allegories for Social and Political Issues (Taste of Cinema)

"Rare is a film not multi-layered, cinema is often utilized as a window into society, culture, philosophy and theology. Directors and writers push their passions and views into the projects they conduct, sometimes this is left as a subtle message, however some of these thoughts become the focal point of the film, lending these ideas to the overall integrity and strength of the film. When a film becomes an allegory, this deeper meaning becomes the integral part of the film, films like this are often surreal or metaphorical whilst films that incorporate an allegorical meaning but avoid it taking over the film tend to be far more grounded in reality and realism. Both styles of message are potent and brimming with endless amounts of depth to explore." - tasteofcinema.com
