Listening to the Movie Oubliette podcast episode on Enemy Mine, it occurs to me that the Dracs could be read as an analogue for Jews, and Davidge and the expansionist humans as an analogue for anti-Semites. I remember really loving this movie as a youngster, and I still think it was very progressive for 1980s Hollywood. But rewatching it as an adult, I have to admit it hasn't aged well.

Here's the Movie Oubliette podcast dissecting the movie:
