This video suggests some popular films are subtle allegories in disguise

One of the most repeated quotes in Hollywood history, a witticism sometimes falsely attributed to movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn, goes like this: “If you want to send a message, call Western Union.” Whoever said it, be it Moss Hart or Humphrey Bogart, the idea behind the quote is that the cinema is no place for preachy sermons. Movies are here to entertain, the theory goes, not enlighten or educate. And yet, for decades, movies have been ignoring that famous advice, weaving serious themes and important social issues into their plots, along with the laughs, tears, thrills, and chills the audience actually paid for. An intriguing new YouTube video called “10 Famous Movies With Subtle Hidden Meanings,” part of a web series called Beyond The Frame, shows how movies can introduce such heavy themes so slyly that the audience may not even be aware of them.
