Couldn't help but notice how often they'd drive the point of Antoine being better off (smarter, more compassionate, more cultured etc) because of his education, while the Anta brothers were brutish, precisely because of their lack of education. Reminded me a lot of Plato's chariot allegory! No better present-day depiction of "enlightenment" and the resistance to it than socio-economic disparities.
Also really loved unexpected feminist angle at the end

Watched with a few friends in a small boutique cinema not knowing what to expect but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Sincere (not to mention hilarious!) ode to filmmaking 👏🏻
