It would be easier to give some coherent philosophy in the film:

Did you get that?
Although you could be very much correct. It would be better if you do give some examples. I personally believe that the concept of the film is nothing new. Authors like Philip K Dick wrote stories which talked about alternative realities like this back in the 60s.

Has anyone read this? I will say that I liked all three movies and I did get some of the references (mostly due to my ludicrous course of study in college), but this article is quite in-depth and expounds on points that I was only vaguely familiar with. It's a very interesting read, but set aside some time as it's quite long.

It seems to me this is a way of satisfying people's hunger for "explanations" and "spirituality" by offering them spiritual junk food. It tastes sóóóó good and after you've finished you want more .... and more ... and more
.............. indeed, "wake up" and stop waisting your money and energy on this spiritual junk food.
