I like the movie and have seen it several times, but the philsophy espoused in the movie is simply self indulgence. Sex, drugs, rock n roll, surfing/skydiving and armed robbery to support it all. Nothing to admire in that, at least from a Christian perspective.
I doubt if the remake will be as good as the original.
Funny thing, but there's even less from a Zen Buddhist perspective. It makes the writers as stupid as Otto in A Fish Called Wanda believing the central message of Buddhism is "Every man for himself".
