Don't 100% agree with it, and I found the headline off-puttingly out of sync with the actual argument, but it's great smart writing.

I'd argue that the two different prejudices in the film (large/small and predator/prey) is actually kind of a strength...

Discourages reading the film as a straight analogy, which would be clumsy & problematic (like @devincf says about the coding of 'predator')

I'd argue that the lesson is more that prejudice can cut all sorts of ways. I guess it's kind of a film about intersectionality?

I'm not sure if there's a character (or group) in the film that's directly analogous to straight white male.

@AlexJaySpencer not even the polar bears?

@sleepssundays Things I like about discussing this film: I really can't tell if that's a serious question.

@sleepssundays In a cruel stroke of fate, I'm heading up to Birmingham on Friday night.
