Oh blah blah blah. Question my validity all you want - but questioning a director/screenwriter on it is paramount to you being stupid. "I disagree with what you just said despite the fact that your opinion is in complete agreement with someone who's made many blockbuster films and is a respected person in the field of cinema! What do either of you people know?!"
The idea that a movie can change your life is really, really tough.
1.) MOST PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS AND SHIT FILMS AFFECT THEM
2.) MOST MOVIES ARE NOT SO GREAT TO AFFECT LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE, EQUALING A MARGINAL LEVEL OF CHANGE AMONGST THE POPULACE

You don't have to get all worked up..I'm only questioning, and didn't say you were all out wrong or anything. Perhaps if you elaborate more (which you just did), I might see more clearly where you're coming from.
It's a philosophical issue. I'm not pretending to know even a smidgin of what he knows about film-making, film theory, anything like that. Besides, it's never stupid to question anything. Take things at face value on authority if you wanna, but I'd say that's a bad idea, yeah? Especially when it comes to philosophical issues which can be debated endlessly.
Point 1: Maybe so, but i still think "intelligent" people are just as equally capable of being affected by a film (a non-shit film, perhaps?). Why would anyone watch a movie if it didn't affect them in some way?
Point 2: Agreed. Movies affect individuals in totally different ways, so significant collective trends don't really come up.
