i feel like when i was younger i exclusively did the first thing, just relate to the main character. but now it’s more fascinating to zoom out more.

ex I’m watching Black Swan atm and instead of being like oh dancing is hard the teacher wants to fuck me etc, I’m thinking about like, that’s a lot of effort just to do ballet, which the opening 5 minutes establishes is a completely irrelevant art form

    I don’t ‘try’ to do either.

    Either the film’s production and marketing draw me in the intended direction or they don’t. When their vision and my experience fail to align, I expect I’m less likely to enjoy the film.

     

    …That or film was garbage. YMMV
