At first it shows a accurate portrait of Turn of the century America, AKA a racist, classist, Ableist shithole where only a small degree of rich white men have any power.
But like the first Bioshock it turns into a critique of video games. Not it's more infinitely more interesting and less done critique of history, and society, just video games.
But then it becomes about the Multiverse, and Video games and the entire thing is just Misdirection about the story of Booker Dewit and the story of a White dude and fighting himself from a timeline where he fucked up and became Comstock.
Not to mention what the game director said
It wasn't really that hard being better then pre-revolution Haiti but still.
A white dude talking about oppression is just rich. Their is a story to tell about how revolutionizes become just as bad as the regime they Overthrew, see Animal Farm for that but that's not what Bioshock infinite is about.
And as movie bob says it all turns into another story about a white mans self destructive tendencies a really good story about a White mans self destructive tendencies but stories like that are a dime a dozen.
I like the stuff about the Multiverse and different realities. But as moviebob says it's just a smoke screen for Bookers story. And I don't care how good the metaphorical elephant is I am more interested in the Dog.
I'm disappointed that Both Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite start with Interesting and in my opinion Needed Tearing Down of American Myths,
In the first Objectivism and in Infinite the Idea The idea of American Exceptionalism.
But both But especially Infinite Have twists where it is instead Deconstructions of the nature of VIHDIO GAYMES.
In Infinite case it really makes my upset that a mainstream game Tearing down the foundational Myth of America might Reach Young Adults and reconsider Their Worldview and politics.
But the Nature of VIHDIA GAYMES is much more important and Interesting./S/
Uhg Undertale and Stanley Parable do the whole Video game Destruction thing Better mostly because it doesn't tease us with a Marxist view of Sikh Religious Customs and Pride and Prejudice only to by instead be about Achievements.
Bioshock Infinite could have been the Embodiment of this Quote.

Says the Haitian revolution. Which while a clusterfuck of bullshit and oppression ended much better then the brutal,Slave economy that it replaces.Maybe people wanted me to write about a hero who rose above that. Elizabeth is the character I invented who does sacrifice herself to break the cycle. But I think most people are destroyed by oppression. I could tell a fairy tale about people who are ennobled by it. But in my experience, as a student of history, that's rare.
If you pretend there are a lot of happy endings for those stories, in some ways it elevates the oppression to something it's not.

The time has come to admit the ugly reality. Come to your sense >US citizens. Donald Trump is not un-American. He is the embodiment of Americanism. We shudder and cringe as he calls for keeping Muslims out of the United States and we despair as he speaks of building a fence to keep out Mexicans. Or we continue to support him as he does this, his poll numbers rising, his competitors dropping to the wayside. And for those who decry his incivility, his racism, his phobia about everything, please do not fall into the simplistic trap of saying that Donald is un-American. Do not claim that he misrepresents or abuses American freedom. The American values you claim he shreds apart simply never existed. They were the wet dream of an Americanist mindset – one peddled by liberals and conservatives alike. The wet dream of those who fought the threat of communism and who search for that picket fence of Chevrolet and prosperity.
