I find it interesting that at the beginning of the movie, it zooms into 
largely repetitive areas of the fractal (fringe areas where very similar 
features are repeated over and over next to each other), and then for 
the last two thirds, it zooms into one specific point of interest. 
During the second part, you can see wheels with spokes, and the number 
of spokes increases, slowly at first and then very quickly until the end 
(which I won't "spoil" for those who haven't watched it). It's as though 
bypassing all the repetitions in the first part is "winding up" 
complexity that has to be "unwound" by zooming very deep into the 
concentric circles in the second part. There's probably a mathematical 
explanation for this.
