I couldn't sit through the entire film as it was very scattered with ridiculous images in action and costume. Some people saw it as a mind blowing, spectacular, creative movie delving into 'deep' matters. If I could stomach watching it again perhaps I would be able to find some of the meaning in the film but for me it was nothing short of disturbing. I would hope that any alternate universe possible wouldn't be even close to anything shown in the movie though I have to admit that much of our existing world is full of individuals living completely opposite realities that are impossible to understand. If I wanted to spend my time giving this movie another chance, I may appreciate what others have gleaned in the deeper meaning of the movie but I would still wish that the deeper meaning could be shown in a more understandable way without all the wild images.
