Just watched it for the first time, and to be honest, I don't really know what to think of it. Pretty much every aspect of filming has been done perfectly (how is this movie 46 years old?) but I didn't really see all the philosophical ideas in the movie that most of you here talk about. Sure, there are lessons to take about humanity, but that's about it.

Maybe I think this because I haven't yet understood the implications of the ending completely, but I get the feeling people are reading too much into this.
