What is way too dangerous to ever try?

I enjoy movies with subtle parallels that equate fictional actions to real-world happenings.  Easter eggs are fine, too, as long as they’re not forced into a movie’s plot like the 1,100+ Easter eggs in Ready Player OneNightmare Alley had a few notable parallels sprinkled throughout its plot.  The movie opens with its main character placing a body below the floorboards of an isolated county home, before setting the whole structure ablaze.  He immediately left town via a lengthy bus ride, then commenced working with a traveling carnival.  It seems it was that easy to get away with murder in the early 1940s.  Life on the lam is far too dangerous a post-homicide plan today, however.  Later, our protagonist sees a newspaper sitting on an end table with the front-page headline about World War II.  He quickly and intentionally buries the paper beneath other items, then walks away.  This is quite subtle—and I may be attributing it more credit than was intended—but a parallel certainly exists.  Kill a man in his own home; escape justice by skipping town.  Kill soldiers of another nationality; escape retribution under the guise of war.
