Brightburn as an Anti-Immigration Movie? By James Reed

     I saw the clip for Brightburn (2019) on You-Ban-It-Tube, and did not think much of it. Basically, it retells the Superman origin story, with an evil Superman. Mum believes in her little boy from space, but in the end, he kills every main character, his foster dad with his heat vision, and his mum by dropping her from high up. Then he takes out a plane. Presumably the next movie has him going to the city, destroying that, then facing the military. Oh, his weakness is metal from the space craft that he landed in. Here is a take on all of this, giving it an anti-immigration spin:

“In a remarkable final scene that appears only after the credits have begun to roll, a crazed Alex Jones-type character starts yelling about more reports coming from all over the world of violent happenings similar to those that have been occurring in Brightburn, Kansas. Much to the chagrin of the Leftists, these interstellar “migrants” are actually invaders. It does appear that the various nations are calling such reports “conspiracy theories.” Even as Armageddon looms, the Left cannot admit that it has been wrong all along and that diversity really isn’t our greatest strength. And in the most delicious irony of all, by deplatforming truthtellers like Alex Jones, only the Dissident Right will be aware that it’s time to take defensive actions. The Left would rather dismantle the 9-1-1 system than run the risk of being called racists for reporting an invasion by non-Europeans, even of the intergalactic kind.”

     It is unlikely that the anti-immigration message even occurred to the script writers, directors film company, even me until reading this. The more likely scenario is a “what if” super-duper was not good, but evil. Nevertheless, the movie apparently has all the Leftist bells and whistles, with the mother being the typical lover of the imports. But, in the end she gets squashed, as does the human race. The message for us is that the boy was a test run for an invasion to come. Sounds mighty familiar.
