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.
