In response to "right, which is why i assume they focus on "the really important allegory" hidden in there in Q&As." by TFox

(just to clarify a bit: let's say the film as a whole is kosher legally...)

i feel virtually certain that if someone were to, say, only have a 90 second clip from that movie on their computer, absent any other context that would lend it literary value, that person could be prosecuted without hesitation. so we're talking about a film that incorporated elements of that type of material to make an allegory that (again, trusting other reviews here) isn't even necessarily close to the forefront of the movie, and generally has to be explained by the filmmakers after the movie for any American audience to "get it". i think that is treading on pretty thin ice.

Responses:

The only thing I will say is that the allegory is explicitly stated several times by a character in the film. It's not subtle. - Dano Oct 16, 22:47 1
