Reply #10: Granted, I haven't seen it either

And I agree that, for example, some war movies are powerful anti-war statements. Some even start out as pro-war, but end up anti-war by their very nature. For example, the folly of Viet Nam always strikes me very vividly when watching a re-run of "The Green Berets", even though the movie was intended as propaganda for the war.

Perhaps some "kung fu" flicks may fall into the category of "anti-violence through the portrayal of violence". The old "Kung Fu" TV series might be an example of this - lots of fight scenes, but always with a populist Zen message that wasn't actually conducive to an aggressive world view.
