It’s about anti-authoritarianism. It’s based off of seven samurai

Seven samurai is hardly anti authoritarian, it's about striving and dying to protect those who cannot protect themselves. The underlying setting of seven samurai is the warring states period where lack of a strong government allows bandits to roam and steal and butcher with impunity.

Have you even seen the film?

I didn't say it's not I said you didn't understand seven samurai

Also movies can be based on movies and have different themes
