Its not so much spiritual as it is fundamental to the spiritual way of living, in communities, growing your own food, exercising the brain, being vegetarian and most of all caring for one another.
There are some simple yet beautiful lines from this movie that knock me out every time, for example when Mila the alien tries to understand why earth ladies wear lipstick she asks one, tha latter answers her that it’s for being pretty, Mila doesnt understand, the women tries to explain further and says: it’s to be ettractive” Mila is just more confused “towards who?” she askes, “well everyone”, the woman answers “its so that people will love you”, “that must be hard” points out Mila, and the woman looks sad and thoughtful. Seeing as she upset her host, Mila asks about the picture of her husband and children “are these your loved ones?” the women affirms her, “then why arent they wearing lipstick?” askes Mila.
