All films, books, art, all mediums reflect current situations in some capacity. Always. People just aren't smart enough to see the parallels on the surface, how long did it take people to realize the Star Trek Cold War similarities? I know that I was too young to understand it in the 70s, but in the 80s it became apparent to me.
