Line 53:
* ''[[Fly By Night]]'' is a film that doesn't know whether to praise hip-hop or condemn it. It tends to flip flop when it comes to criticizing [[Hardcore Hip Hop]], but it also seem to chastise [[Conscious Hip Hop]], and [[Political Rap]] as well.
* ''[[Camp Nowhere]]'' seems to have ''some'' kind of Aesop at the end, but good luck trying to figure out what the heck it is. It could be that kids shouldn't worry about having potential and growing up, but the film's hero stands up to his father and says that it's "okay to be stupid sometimes." It could also be about how [[Growing Up Sucks]], but the hero ''does'' learn some responsibility during the movie and even looks forward to dating his love interest when they're older. Maybe the lesson is that it's wrong to fool your parents and start a phony summer camp, but that was a borderline [[Fantastic Aesop]] even in 1994, and everyone ends up thanking the hero for the fun summer anyway, so THAT can't be it...
* The [[Wonder Woman (2017 film)|2017 Wonder Woman movie]] almost ends with the titular character realizing how naive she was to believe that Ares had to be behind the events of WWI and learning from Steve Trevor that [[Humans Are Flawed|humans are inherently faillible]], the causes of large-scale atrocities are more complicated than a single evil mastermind's plan, and you cannot magically fix everything by getting rid of a single person you believe is behind all the events. Then Ares reveals himself minutes later and throws the lesson out the window.
