My highschool English teacher agreed with you. We spent half the semester watching and rewatching it and analysing the religious symbolism and discussing the films commentary on celebrity culture and fanaticism. I’m forever scarred by the experience.
Plenty to digest with the movie, especially given when it came out. Survivor was just getting big in the States, things like Road Rules had been on for a bit. Voyeur TV was big.
Feels like great fodder for long form YouTube essays, but I’m not so sure about high schoolers studying it, lol

Anyway I saw it at least 20 times and I’m done with it.
