I would say - the richer interpretation - the one that makes you - the vidder- really think... well, that is the one you should pick up and run with.
Now whether or not you can accomplish all of this in a single 3-4 minute vid - that is all part of the process. I'd say it will be difficult to do and to remain coherant to most viewers, but that is what betas are for.
How abstract do you need to get to have a rewatchable vid?
I don't know that abstract -or not- makes a vid watchable or unwatchable (much less rewatchable). Interesting is a much more important thing - how interesting is this vid? Does this vid make me think? Does this vid highlight something that intrigues me? and of course all of this is balanced with the aesthetical pleasures of the vid in question. Is this vid a pleasure to watch? -- this does not mean "Is everything pretty?" cause a lot of gritty, grimy and dark vids - I find those aesthetically pleasing because of camera angles and I am big on reaction shots as well and if it is timed right, hot damn!
Does the vid draw an extensive metaphorical tie between Lex's father and Jor-el's plans for Clark? Meh - maybe - maybe that is a good vid. Sometimes though the only concept a good vid needs is "Damn, Clark is hot." -- Depends on the vid and how is gets its central concept across, be it sophisticated or simple.
