Historically inaccurate
The movie portrays Germans from 1929 who left the Weimar Republic but lies in its intro that they are fleeing the rise of facism. Which wasn't yet a thing in Germany. But leftist only know one thing.

The oposite of woke, if this is possible
Some random thoughts but it is what it is:
From the doctor’s point of view, the family’s arrival is what destroys the “utopia.” Their very normality (them being healthy, functional, practical) hits him like a moral and psychological shock. They cope, improvise, and keep going, and that success forces him into an ugly comparison: it makes him start seeing his own sick wife as a burden he can’t afford.
The same collapse happens in his conflict with the Countess’s camp. He comes in with established beliefs about how fighting against the strong is somehow immoral; after all this is why he chose to escape to this island. He and his wife began as pure idealists; early on you even see her judging Sidney Sweeney's character for marrying a man “damaged by war,” meaning he has held weapons and has probably killed.
But reality corners him. He realizes that without weapons and the willingness to use force, life is unsustainable; and crossing that line breaks him further.
By the end, their idealism is exposed as fragile, as something that only works as an escape from real life. And the film’s verdict is blunt: neither the pretentious liberals nor the pretentious philosophers are actually fit for life.
The only people who endure are the family, the normal people: ready to love each other, work, adapt, and do what needs doing, without thinking too much and without turning everything into a performance or abstraction.
