What’d you think the first time?

The first time through you don't quite know where the film is going, and it's an incredibly gorgeous, technically precise journey with a good enough payoff to leave your heart beating at the end of the movie.

The second time through the narrative just doesn't have the same impact, and you notice that it's kind of pretentious and self indulgent and drones on a bit.

I was very young when i watched it first, for some reason i got the idea that it was about how rutless capitalism destroys peoples lifes and that in practice is more easely exploited by ruthless assholes that think only about themselves and take andvantage of other people. I really didnt got the whole religion vs capitalism thing the first time i watched it, i just thought it was presented as a way to manipulate people and be on their good side even if you have a body in the bag like the protag already does.
