Good art, or bad messaging?

OK, I have to admit, even though I said X was dominated by reactions against Disclosure Day, I have to admit it is allowing a genuine debate about the movie, and it's making it near impossible for me to stop thinking about it. 

I don't think enough people are making the point that it's pretty great that there is a movie engendering a lot of debate about its message and interpretation.   I know I have said this about certain movies before - that I really enjoy arguing/debating about them almost as much as viewing them.  

I tend to think that it is a sign of good art - although the cynical view could be that it can also be the result of muddled messaging, and simply failing to make the intent clear.    Even that can be debated as part of the process!

There are some more specific things I want to say about the movie, but still feel its a bit early to do so...
