People can enjoy light or “dumb” movies, but if that’s all we watch, culture and intellect stagnate. Escapism soothes, but challenge expands. Pleasure is fine, but without curiosity, both art and audience shrink.

i think most people who only watch light hearted movies probably use movies as a source of entertainment. there are other ways to appreciate culture and its other art out there to expand someone’s mind, not just films. which is why i think people need to stop judging people for only watching one medium (as someone who watches any and everything)

if they are consuming other meaningful art, i have no issue with it, but i really feel like that's not the case with most people. i’d say 2/3rds of people i’m surrounded by look for just entertainment

well thats who you tend to end up being surrounded by but where i tend to end up most people that are watching films for entertainment seek culture through history, books, art, music and food. so i guess its just different crowd
