What movies are pure liberalism? (hexbear.net)

The Pursuit of Happyness is really bad. Will Smith's inspirational moment is going to the New York Stock Exchange and seeing all the happy rich guys in suits walking around, and wanting to be like them. Having to do stuff like brown-nose executives, sleep in train station bathrooms and pull his son out of daycare due to lack of money are presented not as flaws of the system but evidence of Smith's smart bootstraps-oriented thinking. This movie is the Mein Kampf of liberalism.

12 Angry Men

(Is a great movie, but it's still a liberal fantasy about the system coming to the right outcome via the power of reason and debate.)

Never seen it but to kill a mockingbird would probably also qualify here yah?
