Kill the Monsters (2018)
Only history geeks will understand this
At face value, the story seems to depict gays in a negative light: characters that are arrogant, selfish, disrespectful, materialistic. There's also no conventional story arc.
However! This movie is actually a hidden gem.
What most viewers will miss is that the movie's story is actually an imitation of the history of the USA. The 3 characters represent the 3 main social socio-economic classes throughout US history: Old Wealth (Sutton), Intellectuals (Patrick) and Laborers (Frankie). The bickering through the movie represent the historical struggles between these classes.
The scenes/chapters in the movie navigate us through (and satirize) the War of Independence, the march towards the West, the Civil War, the Great Depression, WW2 and more recent events.
This script is really a work of art, optimized for viewers at the intersection of recent gay culture and US history buffs. If you're in that niche, you'll find this "American Allegory" absolutely exquisite.
