Artists are supposed to feel things deeply. It means that your creative processes, imagination and emotions are mixed up with, flowing into, the world's at large.
Do you find yourself moved at things/movies/books/music others don't? Then more of the stream might be coming from you than from the source, ie.the movie.
Put another way, if someone saw "The Virgin Suicides'' and was NOT moved, was the failing Sofia Coppola's, or the viewer's? I'd say the movie is what it is, but we all bring different things to it.
I saw this with my wife when it came out, and I thought it was well done. But i don't remember it well. but Nancy (my wife) wanted to talk about it at length, so we (mostly her) disected the film. She finally brought some of her friends to see it and they hashed it over.
It was too far outside my frame of reference; I didn't bring anything with me to the theater that would help me make a deeper connection with those characters than what was on the screen, ie. I've never been a teenaged girl.
I'm not knocking the film, as I said I thought it was well done. But the experience perhaps wasn't universal enough.
Two quick examples: Closer is a clever, complicated film about relationships and infidelty, well-acted and well-made. UNLESS you've been dumped, betrayed or otherwise hurt by a lover. Then it's a fuckin' rollercoaster.
And the Sarah McLaughlin song "I Will Remember You.'' I was one of those assholes who made fun of her Lillith Fair shows, though I went with my wife and two other couples.
Then my mom died. Now the song haunts me because it reminds me of her.
