I couldn't make this up if I wanted to. It shouldn't be any surprise by now that whenever a major film series comes out, someone will make up some kind of theory about it being filled with subliminal messages or analogies for other things. Sometimes, it's accurate. Remember this? Other times, it's a bit of a reach.
