On a pure storytelling level 'Wicked Part 1' is right up there as one of the most radical big studio Hollywood movies ever made. I know 'Part 2' swings back to the center a bit but 'Part 1' is nakedly about radicalization in the face of careerism, fascism, propaganda.
What's really striking about 'Wicked Part 1' is that it's coming out NOW when America has never been more right wing and propagandized. Yes, I know the theatrical production and the book are much older so part of the timing is a coincidence but still...
If America keeps going on the track it is, I wouldn't be surprised to see the movie banned in 3-5 years.
You really think I'm 100% saying the movie will for sure get banned but I'm just saying it's possible given the current trajectory of the country.
