Spoiler: Spoiler: Anyone notice the newspaper M. Night was reading? I think it made a good point about what we see in the paper now days. Every article in the paper you saw was about violence and I think that was the point of the film. Because we get to see how innocent the people were in that time period. I thought the idea of the elders dressing up as monsters to scare the others was great. Not only did it serve their main purpose of keeping everyone from leaving the villlage, it also brought the community closer together. It makes you wonder if it would be so bad to be taken back to a time like that? So, IMHO I think the movie does make you think, made me think at least.
BTW I wouldn't be surprised if that was the biggest spolier ever.

Xiangsu, super observation. I hadn't caught that! Perhaps this could be construed as a comment on organized religion as a whole. After all, is what they do really any different?
