I didn't like the line from Seraph "You don't know someone until you fight them" BUT if the point is, you don't "know" something until you practice it, then I give you this thought, along those same philosophical lines:
All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience.
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thus, sometimes we need to think about things in as many ways and forms as possible for them to be cemented into our being. We must experience and reexperience them, from precontemplation to contemplation, to action, and over again. I enjoyed how the movie would first say something, and then practice that something.
I appreciate a philosophic stance in a movie, even if some of the other parts, like the fight scenes could have tighter (the hurly burly or the free-way) or changed (we saw ghosts, but why didn't the werewolf change shape? or the vampires? that could have been cool), and yeah, the sex was definitely gratuitous, but if we're talking about obeying programming (causality) then the sex drive is one of our most fundamental urges.

anyways, those are just my two cents.
