That is good except there are a couple of punctuation problems.

Capitalize "This" in that sentence.

That is good except that the first sentence is clearly supposed to be a question, so you should end that sentence with a QM (question mark). Also, space after the ending punctuation.

The first sentence makes sense if you delete "yet". For the second sentence, try: "It makes me think about my goals in life." The third sentence calls for a noun instead of "symbolixes". Try: "Naruto is heavily imbued with symbolism." Would you say that the film is repetitive to the point of being annoying?
