Every movie that holds that "everything happens for a reason" is espousing a philosophy. And a damn sight of them do, every year, because it's a comforting thing to believe. But it's not a given.
How about "The Usual Suspects?" What I took from that movie was, "You can't really know anything." The whole narrative was about lies built on lies -- and then of course you find that there is a master liar above it all.
