Is Cukoos Nest Still Relevant?

So the other day a friend asked me a question that said: Which is one movie that has a theme realted to the world's current issue? This got me thinking, and the only movie that I could think of was One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest. This a movie about how people revolt againts authority, and with all the revolutions going on now a days, I think this movie could be interpreted like Animal Farm was back in the day, with a political theme and all, if people would watch it now a days. For example,Nurse Ratched could be interpreted as Dictator Gaddafi, and Randall McMurphy could be interpreteted as the Lybian rebel leader. Also, the other assylum members can be represented as the oppresed Lybians. This is just a thought that could make Jack Nicholson's first Oscar winning role relevant still today, and inspire more young people to fight government oppression.
What do you think is one film that could be related to the current world issues?
Here's the trailer if you want to watch it.
