That was a bit ambiguous in my post. No, I didn't think that CoM moralised - I was trying (badly) to say that I wasn't looking for some big message in it and that in any case, I don't much like films that go in for that. What I have been trying to suggest is that it sets itself up as though it's a prophetic vision chock full of meaning, but it isn't. It only has the style and the looks.
For me the characters aren't especially engaging and nor is the plot which isn't a particularly original theme. I'm sure many people disagree.
