Movies, as with any art form, is open to interpretation. In our modern world of constant visuals, everyone has an interpretation and opinion on everything. That's the blessing and the curse. When two people watch the same movie, their reaction can be so drastically different from each other. Your experience and knowledge will affect what you take away from watching that particular story. And that's why movies (and books and music and paintings and sculptures and buildings, etc) are so magical: they can open up a new world or idea in someone who probably needs that world or idea to survive.
This just something I realized I had experienced first hand when watching the same movie with a friend. The movie I watched was something much, much different than the movie they watched. I hope that that story opened and helped. I also hope to be privileged enough to partake in a eye-opening movie one day.
