      Interesting question though -- people take Tyler's stuff from FC seriously. Is it possible to make an anti-fascist movie?

      I'm positive it is. But I'd need to know more about functioning of fascism to consider how.

      One issue is that fascism is a cinematic / aesthetic ideology. So if you accept its aesthetic premise, it wins.

          The problem with movies is that people latch on to things that look cool, and messages are lost.
