Art does not need to have a deep meaning to be wonderful. If I think of films, one of my favourites is Kill Bill, which has very little meaning (beyond don't cross blondes who are skilled assassins ); it is simply highly entertaining and the only real 'depth' comes from the layering of references and the action/dialogue. I doubt that Tarantino meant for us to find anything profound in it.

Aw, fiddlesticks! You mean I wasn't
supposed to find anything profound in
Kill Bill? Too late! So many people focused on the surface theme of revenge that the underlying theme of redemption, restraint and proper use of power at the end seems to have gotten lost! Probably due to the fact that she went ahead and killed Bill anyway! Sorry, I must be the only one who found parts of
Kill Bill profound. Even if Tarantino didn't mean it! Sorry for the digression, but I figure it illustrates some point about 'meaning.'
Cheers!
