Moreover, the team was also asked about the relevance of the divided US political landscape, to which Law responded: “Sadly, the relevance speaks for itself. It felt like a piece of work that needed to be made now. It’s always interesting finding a piece of work that’s relevant to the present day.”
‘The Order’ Cast Explains How The Film Reflects On American History
Justin Kurzel revealed during the press conference that the movie tackles the conversation about the future and ideologies. He said, “The film was about an ideology that’s incredibly dangerous and how it can quickly take seed…in those that feel invisible or unheard…I think that’s a timeless thing, not only in America, but in Australia too [where the filmmaker is from]”.
Actress Jurnee Smollett also added, “I think the history of America is very complex. And if you look back throughout history, whether we’re talking about the Jim Crow South or the Tulsa race riots in 1921 or the Oklahoma City bombing, this level of bigotry is not new, and unfortunately, it has existed in our nation since our nation was founded.”
