Hopefully each time it seems less astounding and more baseless and confounded. It is a great movie if you are 12 and are first learning to think outside of your immediate desires but it is not really that deep or well thought out.

What would you say is a deep film?

That's a good question. On the one hand I don't think any film really goes that deep. Real intellectual exploration happens in short spurts and discussions. Things like podcasts, and around bonfires with intelligent friends. A good joke can cut deeper into the meaning of things than any blowhard director can fathom.
But on the other hand that means that films should be judged for what they are. On a curve. Something like Freaks and Geeks does a better job exploring the nature of humanity than requiem. Maybe I'm just not a drug addict. I'm not really a movie buff so it's hard for me to name anything off the top of my head, but it would definitely be a movie that was not trying to be social commentary. Something that is slandered as "far right" because it hit on some deep truth that the leftist hollywood machine doesn't want explored.
Generally speaking hollywood has a certain type of person with a certain type of experience. That leads to common misinterpretations of reality.
