I know \u2018Part 2\u2019 swings back to the center a bit but \u2018Part 1\u2019 is nakedly about radicalization in the face of careerism, fascism, propaganda.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s really striking about \u2018Wicked Part 1\u2019 is that it\u2019s coming out NOW when America has never been more right wing and propagandized. And yes, I know the theatrical production and the book are much older so part of the timing is a coincidence but still\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you\u2019ll be shocked. If America keeps going on the track it is I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see the movie banned in 3-5 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He likened \u201cWicked\u201d to other \u201cradical big studio\u201d films like \u201cThe Bridge on the River Kwai,\u201d \u201cThe Sound of Music,\u201d \u201cThe Searchers,\u201d \u201cCitizen Kane\u201d and \u201cThe Hunger Games.\u201d Of the 2012 Jennifer Lawrence movie, he wrote: \u201cThat\u2019s a big one.
