Of course, there's no need to nitpick with such a film on this issue.
Fundamentally, what this film preaches is the desire for a scientific, objective, rigorous thinking attitude that is lacking in most films in this world. Not only commercial blockbusters that are purely entertainment, but even many popular science films, cannot put forward such in-depth and insightful ideas.

After a long period of rigorous thinking, they got such an answer, Of course, many people will come to different answers.
For example, Marx put forward the views of historical materialism and dialectical materialism. Of course, at that time, there was no evidence for CERN's many experiments to provide him with certain insights, so it is normal for some inherent ideas to change as science develops.
