DeGuerre: Thanks a million for the great answer! Sorry the response has taken so long! Anyway, I agree...hook the audience with music, which after all is the king and queen of the arts!

Finally, a complaint: Movies don't have overtures any more!
Modern Hollywood formulaic thinking says that you have 10 minutes to hook the audience by introducing the protagonist's normal life, and then introducing the inciting event.
Why aren't you allowed to use music to hook the audience instead? Is it because in the post-studio environment, you have ten pages to hook the story department, and you're hardly going to put down music to do that?
Anyway, a very thought-provoking video. Thanks!

Secondly, the repetition. One of the reasons why we appreciate repeated themes is for the same reason why you have "three guys" in a joke (e.g. the Englishman, Scotsman and Irishman).
You need at least two instances to "get the idea". If the idea is strong enough (and appearing as it does at the beginning, this is pretty strong), you can vary the second one only at the end (with the chord change here). If it's not, you need to quote twice and vary the third, much like as in the joke.

This complex shape is on top of a very simple harmony: Only one chord! It's a complex chord, and quite discordant, but it's still a "held" chord, like a pedal point. Putting a complex melody on top of complex harmony would be a mistake here, because it would destroy the clarity.

A couple of comments from an amateur music theorist about the opening phrase.
First, the "shape". If you imagine drawing a wiggly line that goes up when the pitch goes up and down, the shape of this phrase is quite complex for something with only six notes in it. Compare with a simpler melody, such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", which just goes up then down.
More in next comment.
