As always, if you haven't seen it I suggest you go into it not knowing anything about it beforehand.
How many times have you seen it?
What concepts or details are not caught the first few viewings?

I've probably seen it 3 or 4 times over the years.
It's hard for me to say anything about it without spoiling the movie.
Are you asking because you've already seen it? I wouldn't want to ruin it for anybody who would watch it.

I don't think I've seen it, wondered why you conjured it applied to this topic.

After watching it again, I was reminded again about the racial tension, with her being sexually assaulted by the gang of black guys. That likely doesn't come through for first time viewers at this date, but back then it was a hotter topic. And rape tension was a lot more hot then, as well - not the mundane "date" rape that it's been watered down to now. I recall the tension in those scenes was palpable, while today most viewers likely don't even notice.

It's one of my favorite movies (eXistenZ). I think it was in the theatres about a week or two. My friend rented it one night and I'd never even heard about it. It was the first movie I'd seen Jude Law in, and it was the first time I'd seen Jennifer Jason Leigh in a movie since I was a little kid. She never looked better.
Here's what IMDB (and probably the box) says...

I really wouldn't want to say any more than that about it. It's not a movie I'd want to ruin for anybody.
I'd say that the movie Inception probably owes quite a bit to eXistenZ.

Hey Six, I want you to know that, based on what you described, I don't think your father spoiled the movie for you. It is one of the themes within the movie and it definitely makes you think. Like JSF said, watch the movie, I believe you'll enjoy it. Then you'd be better prepared to discuss your thoughts on it. If you wanted to do that.

Perhaps the idea that your dad shared was that almost all languages, even within each language, are riddled with terms which are "subject to interpretation" - not a quote from the film. In Hollywood, these differing interpretations provide confusion, conflict, comedy - "and hilarity ensues."
Maybe he picked up on something that was more subtle. I figured since you've seen it you would have known exactly what he was talking about.
I kind of got the idea that he meant that because we lacked the proper words in any language that these aliens had in their own that we were unable even to imagine concepts that would allow for the future success of our race. I immediately thought of the opposite of this in 1984 with NewSpeak and the purposeful dumbing down of the language so that the proles would one day be completely unable to even think about the idea of rebelling against Big Brother because they lacked any words to even put those ideas together.
On a side note... I thought of another movie I'd like to add to the list.

Has anybody seen Primer (2004), or the followup film?
