Rom sees religious/spiritual connotations attached.
Internal Queries liked the hat concept.
Humm saw a few things but mainly references to the biblical god.
inspirit saw a love story but saw more of matrix 2 while watching it, the act of comparison.
They (the people who say these things) say we (humans) only see what we want to see or have been conditioned by experiences to see.
"I'll believe it when i see it" and " I believe it so I\I'll see it"
But then if we only see what we believe or want to see or expect to see, how does one see\learn\acquire anything new.
Everyone spoke of what they saw, it may not be everythng they saw, but for intended purposes let's say that's all we saw.

And I agree with this observation.
I usually watch movies i like anywhere between 5 and 30? times (i do not know the exact number but it's a lot.)
Each time I watch I intuitively look for other things.
I'm not sure if intuitive is the correct word.
It's a unique observing experience of the blend of consciously choosing to focus on different elements of the movie but while doing so I am not aware I am forcefully\willfully doing so.
Sort of like before the movie begins, I am conscious I have chosen to look for\at other things.
The decision has been made, the program has been set, it now runs in the background and I simply watch the movie like i always do but hey presto, I begin to see things I did not previously.
The range of sight has been altered 'cus now I am seeing things I previously did not.
This is related to builtin filters, biases of one's perception
~laughs~ yeah what a long rant just because of a movie, but this is what i am seeing as I interact with you in this thread.
The builtin filters and biases based on beliefs and ideas etc, is "we only see what we want to see."
But if I change by removing filters and biases I will see what I could previously not.
When I said I disagree with Humm's perception I think there is this builtin subclause that states that disagreement automatically means one is right and the other is wrong.
In this context of each person's personal evaluation of a movie, there is no right and wrong.
There is one view from over here (me) and one view from over there (Humm)
No right or wrong evaluations, just two unique views.
There can still be disagreement, as in, I don't see what you see.
But watch people when you disagree with them, there is this automatic response that someone thinks someone is right and someone is wrong.
Or observe yourself when someone disagrees with you, can you see the subtle rising of defense of your evaluation\idea\belief.
I saw the religious references, matrix reloaded, ( i too liked the hat concept),the issues about destiny v free will, chance, fate, the inner conflict between being acceptable to others V following your heart, the fight to control one's own destiny within the context of a world where one does not have absolute control, of unknown forces directing one's journey.
There is so much in this movie, so many concepts that make up, or are a part of a person's existance.
But for me, Love came to the fore as being the ocean that all this was being played out in.
!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!
Even the head guy, "god", the guy who has total control, changed the plan because of the love of the two main characters.
But there is a scene or two that informs that the head guy actually does not have total control.
Hey, come to think of it, the whole movie is about "god" does not have total control.
Which logically brings me right back to love being the main thing.
And that no one is in complete control and by the power of love, by being energized and inspired by love, control is not the issue.
The issue is living with love as your foundation within a chaotic and unpredictable reality.
When the manure hits the fan, respond in love.
Will manure ever stop hitting fans? I do not know the future, but I know how to respond in love.
