It feels smart precisely because of how comfortable & obvious it is. It confirms things you already feel, thoughts you've already had. We tend to feel ideas that agree with us are very, very deep indeed, so all Nolan has to do is go to the very basics of stuff that pretty much fucking everyone at least theoretically believes like War = Bad. Ironically if he were to go deeper with it fewer people would find it deep, because the film wouldn't function nearly so well as a mirror for the viewer.
