"I saw a movie."
"Did you like it?"
"Do I have to like it?"
"Did you not like it?"
"Why do I have to judge a movie?"
"Well, isn't that kinda why you watch a movie?"
"No."
I do not have to like, or dislike a movie. That is not the purpose of viewing a work of art. I do not have to like it. I do not have to dislike it. Any movie, or any work of art, for that matter, is a perspective that is put in front of me. How do I decide if I like it? If I laugh with it, if I can relate to the experiences narrated in it, do I then, decide that I like it? If it makes me cry, if it tugs my empathy, do I then decide that I like it? If it disgusts me, do I decide that I do not like it?
I'm not a critic. I'm not someone who looks at a frame and decides that I would've liked it better had it been slightly towards the left. No. I'm the eye. I try to enjoy what is in front of me.
Your posts don't make sense. They don't have to, is what I'm saying. :)
I saw a movie. The end.
