Fight Club, Star Wars and American Psycho join in as the most notable films to have fanbases that have wildly different interpretations of the art that is… concerningly bad to say the least

Did you mean Starship Troopers? What do people disagree on with Star Wars?

And I'm generally of the opinion getting people to think for themselves by evoking radically different interpretations is one of the main purposes of art. If it can only ever be seen through a single lens you're not making good art - you're making boring propaganda.

Star Wars was a metaphor for the Vietnam war. The USA/Empire are the bad guys.

If it can only ever be seen through a single lens you're not making good art - you're making boring propaganda.

oh, "both sides" bullshit.

There can be good propaganda though. Making art that sends a good message is propaganda too.
