I had a discussion with a college professor that was majoring in art and told me it was a movie about gangsters He was either being so arrogant that I couldn't analyze a movie because I didn't have a degree in anything or that's what he really thought and that's scary if colleges are producing this. My understanding was similar to yours except that I would add the spiritual not religious essence to it. Ultimately isn't it true that everyone knows the difference between right and wrong.
