> The end credit scene is the only part that I’d consider problematic from a messaging standpoint as it takes a hard line on who they celebrate and isn’t subtle about the directors political allegiances.

I don't actually remember the end credit scene and I didn't pick up on any contemporary political references. Could you elaborate?

I updated my post with links for reading but it’s essentially subtle but insidious.

There’s a movement among the right to downplay the more equitable and peace friendly freedom fighters in favour of more radical ones, including ones with ties to the Axis powers.

Again, it barely takes away from the film since it’s just the final credits but it’s quite a clear signal of the directors outspoken political views

From their perspective the Axis powers were not that much worse than the British

If memory serves, the axis powers (Japan and Germany) did even aid to some small extent.
