It's one of those currently fashionable nebulous buzz phrases that people throw around when they want to demonstrate political stances, based on attitudes. Usually used in some negative, cynical context.

Broadly, it can describe attempt to steer thinking or massage mindsets in populations.
I think revisionism is a subset of this catch-phrase concept.
And I think about everything is some degree revisionist in these times; even mathematics.

The movie sounds like a good one, regardless of real or imagined "engineering". People see what people see. Anything in these times that helps make Americans happy is a good thing.
