It's a far deeper movie than "gee it would suck if we all had to die when we turned 30 and then we found out - shocker - that the government was lying to us." At least give it that.

Why what?

Or, why is it a far deeper movie than "gee it would suck if we all had to die when we turned 30 and then we found out - shocker - the government was lying to us?"

It's quite a clever reference. The 'god' Zardoz is nothing but a mechanical device operated by 'a man behind the curtain'.
