It's a classic, but to enjoy it one must have at least some residual 
freedom urge and residual ability to think about things.

One person in my family, with an amazing almost photographic memory, but 
old now and throughout her life a strict flock follower, i.e. she has a 
very strong herd instinct, disliked it intensely. I think her instincts 
made her blind to many aspects of the story in the movie, so much that 
it became meaningless to her. That phenomenon has also happened in this 
group, then about other things: herd instinct makes blind, so that the 
responses are not even wrong, just technically completely baffling.

Btw. this is not the elderly lady that Francis Glassborow used to 
test-read his introductory C++ text book. I've never met Francis. That's 
a different family (if his reader was family, which I suspect).
