It's sad to listen to all of these sad pseudo-intellectual obsessives.

The interviewees are sad, sad people who can not relate to reality.

Yea they should be doing something more meaningful with their lives like playing World of Warcraft.

Actually, they pointed out some interesting themes; you don't have to agree with them to appreciate their dedication to examining this film. The most significant points, imo, are the native american themes, the minotaur (the minotaur in the maze is a widely known mythology), possible child sexual abuse/homoerotic undertones (some of Jack's interactions with Danny are odd and unsettling) and nazi symbolism (which can be linked to the attempted genocide of the native americans). If nothing else, it's a thought-provoking movie. Nothing bad about that.
