So when I look at the clever, cowardly, misunderstood monsters in the movies, I think about the way Jews were in Europe. At that time, it was true that Jews were falsely told to eat children. People create fear because of greed, and hate because of fear. When all the monsters in the picture are locked up and building something, I think this is the death camp.
The ending of the final movie is happy, but the Holocaust of the last century was not. You say this movie is absurd, I don't think so at all. Compared with this movie, our real world is even more absurd.
