The director of 'Cats' says the movie has a political message about the 'perils of tribalism'
"Cats" director Tom Hooper explained to Business Insider what he meant when he said at the movie's world premiere that the story is about the "perils of tribalism.""Cats" is currently playing in theaters.Many out there might think "Cats" is just a zany musical Andrew Lloyd Webber composed in the 1980s after being inspired by T.S. Eliot poetry. But Tom Hooper doesn't see it that way.
The day after the world premiere, Hooper sat down with Business Insider and expanded on his comments from the night before.. "It's pushed to its margins. The fallen, the forgotten, the disgraced."The example he uses is Jennifer Hudson's character, Grizabella, who has been pushed out of the Jellicle tribe. It takes a newcomer, Victoria , to bring her back in.
But the Oscar-winning director of "The King's Speech" added that his exact usage of the term "perils of tribalism" was political.

The Cats Movie Is Exactly as Bad as It LooksYou have to hand it to the internet’s hivemind: Sometimes we get it right. It was practically virtuosic, the accuracy with which Tom Hooper’s cinematic version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats was clocked upon the release of a behind-the-scenes teaser of it in July. Nailed it. Dead on. Haven’t seen such a good call made since the trailer for Roland Emmerich’s eventual bomb Stonewall cratered upon arrival. As with that embarrassment of a movie, the Cats mocking turns out to be entirely justified. The extent of the travesty at hand was immediately absorbed and expressed. This much is clear after sitting through all 110 minutes of the thing, wishing I could wriggle out of my seat in the movie theater like an actual cat does from the arms of its overbearing owner.
