2. Good movie (not great). The political oppression theme ran through all timelines.

The details varied with the time frame but the thematic use of slavery, confinement, economics and information by one group of people over another group of people was interesting.

IMO, oppression, subjugation and the immorality of gaining material gain thereby was the common thread throughout time.

A bit of a morality tale but the fact that the same set of actors played several different parts throughout the timelines was interesting on it's own.
