Captain America: The First Avenger

I think "Captain America" was an incredible fictional-action movie, focusing on the futuristic technologies and the disruption biotechnology/genetics. Chris Evans who plays Captain America was transformed into a buff "super soldier" by using this machine created by scientist that eventually led him to be Captain America. Even though that invention can benefit a lot of guys, it seems really sketchy and almost propaganda. If other men saw almost every guy around them look bigger and better, then obviously they would want to join in on the action. But this would only happen if the military decided to give out that technology for the public use. Either way an invention like, who wouldn't want to give it a try? The sketchy part about this whole thing is that it disturbs the genetic traits of a person. Changing someone's physical appearance so rapidly can be risky/dangerous, because he could've been used as a test rat for other military men. This movie can also represent how our society are judgmental. One of the reason I think Captain America agreed to this "change" was because he didn't fit in physically like everyone else that worked in the military force. So to fit in he changed himself. That is very similar to the present day. "You are not ugly, society is" is the perfect quote for what I'm tying to explain. People everywhere are changing themselves for the sake of what society thinks of them instead of being themselves. A lot of people enjoy this movie because well, who doesn't like a good action movie? But maybe there's a message in it that no one really notices.
