It is loaded with Nietzsche. Hell, it is an internal struggle with the will to power
As for the movie, I think it pointed out the flaw of the will to power, rather than its brilliance.
Here’s Wolfenstein’s take on the will to power.
"...the drive to overcome pain in order to experience pleasure, as well as to experience the pleasure of overcoming pain, is a primary feature of healthy human function, as is seeking out situations that provide the opportunity for such experiences. In these instances, the will to power is aligned with the life-drive and is fundamentally creative…. When,however, the level of pain begins to exceed one’s capacity for taking pleasure in overcoming it, the death-drive comes forcefully into play… [The will to power] becomes destructive and nihilistic, and it can give rise to envy and ressentiment (Inside/Outside Nietzsche)."
The movie more-so touched base with this view point, rather than strictly Nietzsche.
