See, I thought the message was more of a general warning about where society at large is headed, possibly even in the near future. I actually liked that they didn't really get into specifics about the "how" & "why" things had crashed, I think if they had it would have seemed too preachy.

There were some great moments illustrating human nature in it too, like when he brought the mother & baby out of the building during the uprising; just the sight & sound of the upset baby totally stopped the fighting cold for a minute... but once they started walking away all it took was one random shot and the fighting instantly started raging again just like before. People can recognize important things when it's staring them in the face, but our attention spans are short and we forget easily...
