10 Movies With Hidden Subtext You Totally Missed

If Terminator 2's allegorical look at the dangers of technological advancement is too blatant for you, James Cameron's contender for best sequel ever carries subtler messages too.

The T-1000 didn't take on the form of a law enforcement officer just for the hell of it. Cameron wanted the character to symbolise a recurrent issue in modern America, police brutality.

The liquid-metal killing machine masquerades as the good guy but operates with a hidden agenda, much like crooked cops do every day.

Making T2 all the more poignant, the beating of Rodney King occurred while the film was being shot and the incident itself took place directly opposite the bar where Arnie secures his clothes, boots and motorcycle.
