Yes, they are common themes, but it is all in how they are explored that matters. In my opinion, the film explored them in a very novel way that really adds to the body that already exists. I definitely agree that this film deserves its iconic status. There is so much in this film and several ways it can be interpreted. Yes, I agree that was an important theme of the film. It was a very excellent one an that. That goes into what I mentioned about the old versus new order.
