"And if so, how can you deny that this has political overtones in an election year in which the incumbent is being criticized for exactly the reasons the village elders should be criticized in the movie?"I guess I'm just a simple minded kind of guy. I took the movie on its face. The elders saw themselves as alienated and injured by an impersonal and violent society. To create a differnt life for themselves and their children they were willing to create a giant hoax for their offspring. This "premise" creates a very mildly interesting moral question. However, as a dramatic story it was not particularly plausible. I took the film no further than that.
I read absolutely no political overtones into the movie. It was just summer entertainment. I would be very surprised to learn that the movie had an "intended" allegorical meaning such as you suggest.
I see absolutely no intended parallel between the elders in the movie and the current administration. Again, I suspect that any parallels you see, you brought to the movie.
