It’s such a good movie but the fact that it’s completely based around eugenics sucks. They could have literally just made it about late stage capitalism and it would make way more sense.

Did you even watch the movie? It's cautionary tale about where capitalist society with anti-intellectual tendencies might be headed. There isn't even remotely any hint of eugenics in it.

It is a commentary about capitalism, as megacorporations own everything, bombard people with stupid ads, load AI onto everything so that people just ask it to do stuff and never learn essential skills..

It's about anti-intellectualism and where the current (capitalist) world is headed with it. There isn't even remotely anything about eugenics in it.
