That's a wrong read of the movie. The end was `symbolic'. But the revolt was 
something similar to the US student revolts against the broader society, its 
morays, and its pretentions as just and good.

I seriously doubt Lanzo's motives were anything like If. There was something 
else going on with him. We'll just have to wait and see.
