It was a good film. I definately wouldn't call it one of the best movies ever. I don't think there's much deeper meaning to it or anything, unless I really missed something.

That's how I'd look at it. I thought it was great and probably worthy of a best foreign picture Oscar, but "one of the best movies ever" would be crazy hyperbole.
that's how i feel about "Dark Knight"..

It's just I see all of the rave about it on IMDb, seeing where it's at in the 250, seeing all of the talk about it being such a powerful, gripping, amazing, jaw dropping, barn burning, testicle tickling, pig farming movie and I just see a very good flick about life elsewhere in the world. That's why I brought up "one of the best movies" because of how highly praised it is everywhere I look.
