There will likely be a few more things in there too. I wasn't able to swallow all of it either, though I think the point of the film is not to analyze so much as raise awareness.

I don't see the "American dream" ending either; what I do see is the end of the worst of suburbia--the kinds of places that are dysfunctional with or without a car.
