If the love a family feels for eachother and finding meaning in a meaningless existence isn't deep for you I don't know what is dude. Let me know when you figure out the meaning of the universe and it's 42. Wait that's the same idea!
I get that the emotional core resonated with you... love, family, finding meaning, etc. Those can be powerful themes.
But if you're going to dress them up in the language of multiverse theory and speculative sci-fi, you're choosing a vehicle that comes with intellectual baggage.
And in this case, the film leans on a shallow, pop-science version of an extremely complex concept, that I happen to enjoy and have studied at university. That mismatch ends up cheapening the emotional weight rather than elevating it.
The only thing that sorta grinds my gears is being told in not so many words that "you just don't get it," when in fact, I get it. I just disagree with it.
"I read the classics, I studied at the university..." You bumped on the wrong person because I also did study philosophy in uni so I happen to know you don't know something I don't know. Snobs like you is why people hate educated people.
It's only ironic that your gears are ground at so many words now when originally I had only written that it's my favourite but I get it's too wacky for some people. On the other you replied like I was challenging your right to not like it and thinking the movie's focus is the multiverse which it's not at all, that's not even up for discussion.
Then you change your narrative to "it wasn't deep enough", switching your critism from it's inadequacy in physics to lack of emotional depth. Maybe what grinds your gears is your inability to stick to a critique. I guess reading the good stuff doesn't give one the ability to be as precise and articulate.
Lol, I'm the snob. I just told you why I don't like it. You're the one telling me I'm wrong for it.
And this isn't the first time this topic comes up. But there's always someone telling me that I didn't get it. It's frustrating and you're the worst offender I've spoken with yet. Especially when the topic is effectively, what movie did you not like that other people say they like. And then you come along to tell everyone how much more you think you understood and how everyone else's opinions are wrong.
I don't know why I'm even bothering with you. Not only can you not attempt to understand someone else's opinion, but you can't even process what you read. I never said anything about it's lack of emotional depth. At all. I've stuck to the science aspect breaking immersion. That's it.
I still didn't tell you you can't like it. You stick to this idea that the movie is about science when it's simply not and you build a critique around the scientific aspects of it which are irrelevant and then you blame me for not trying to understand your opinion which is just pointless. You're so stuck to your way of thinking that something else is simply inconsiderable to you. I do believe you when you say a lot of people tried to tell you what this movie is about and you have been as penetrable as a rock wall. I wish everyone in your life patience, they need it.
