I need help. I like every movie I see

Tools    





My problem is that I like every movie I see. Is it actually a problem? How can this be helped? Every answer appreciated.



This might just do nobody any good.
Talk to one of these movies. Get to know it better and maybe ask it out.



watch better movies and maybe youll start to be more picky

Keep watching movies. Watch more critically acclaimed movies. Over time, you'll find you're not as easily satisfied.
I always find this kind of suggestions baffling. Not that I can talk for everybody (as a matter of fact I am a rather peculiar individual), but the more films I watched, the more eclectic my taste in films became. The more films I watch, the easier it is to satisfy me, because I become more open to different styles, genres, etc. For example, I used to cream over Tarkovsky and Bergman and found most American movies mediocre in comparison. I still prefer these two artists to anything from the US, but I've learnt to love stuff from USA, too. Some of my all-time favourites are from America. I became more open-minded and eclectic, while maintaining my tastes - I'm developing, not contradicting, them. And so, I don't think that liking, or even loving every film you see is a bad thing per se. Especially if you're watching some of the best films ever made. And even if you don't, who cares? You can try analysing films, asking questions etc., if you fancy that, but chances are that this will make you enjoy films less, so why bother?

I think at first watching more critically acclaimed movies does make you think of other films you've seen as bad or uncreative but as time goes on I have to agree with minio that watching more films expands your horizons and taste immensely

I think this is sort of a paradox. At first, most people like most of the films they watch (I know I did), but they're not necessarily watching lots of types of films. When I was younger I liked most mainstream releases and nearly every summer tentpole, for example. If you broaden your horizons beyond that, new genres and styles open up to you, so there's a transition phase where by becoming pickier you temporarily and counterintuitively increase the number of films out there you might enjoy.

But I think, if you watch all sorts of films long enough, it's pretty hard not to recognize how many mainstream releases are just slight reworkings of the same formulas, and as you do it becomes harder to enjoy them. Though see below for a quick parsing on "enjoy."

And so, I don't think that liking, or even loving every film you see is a bad thing per se. Especially if you're watching some of the best films ever made. And even if you don't, who cares?

Nothing wrong with that at all, though I think there's a clear trade off between superficial enjoyment and deeper satisfaction. The more I analyze a film, the deeper my satisfaction with it, but the less I "enjoy" it in the other, more transient sense. And both are totally valid. Most of my life I've been the guy defending the existence of the relatively mindless blockbuster: it has a place and a value, because not every film needs to touch you deeply or change your life or bring you some new penetrating insight. I think life has room for junk food and high cuisine.

That said, if someone's on a movie forum specifically asking about this, I guess I take it for granted that they're looking for a bit more of the latter.



If this your personal quest then probably try things out of your comfort zone or something that sound more challenging--to you
Movies is so vast none way someone will love everything. there will be the good, the bad and the boring., at least that what i think.,



You can't win an argument just by being right!

Is it a problem? I dont think so. If you enjoy something from every film you see then enjoy. You dont have to explain that to any one else.At least you're not whining about every film you see.



Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
It's not a problem unless you want to rank or rate movies in some kind of coherent manner, but since that's a personal opinion, it's up to you.

watching more movies expands Your taste, but if You keep watching after that You start to be more critical. It's really rare for me to see movie and say "it was amazing". I'm bored more easily and I know my taste perfectly. I know which critically aclaimed movies isn't for me and what stuff I usually enjoy more. I can't watch same type of stories over and over and still be amazed. I'm slowly losing mood for movies and watch them less and less. These were great times when everything felt exciting so maybe it's good that You enjoy movies so much right now cause otherwise it feels like losing hobby when finding good movies seem harder and harder.

I'd say watch some really odd or even crappy movies, which will give you a broader understanding.



There are so many connotations to the word 'like', in some ways I had a similar view at one point and in some ways still do. There have been some great responses on here already that I can absolutely relate to. When you say you like every movie it could be the actual act of watching a movie that you like, putting a Blu ray on and dimming the lights/going to the cinema with your girlf, or the many other thousands of ways there are to watch movies. There is something very special about the start of a movie, seeing the plot develop and even when the credits role (especially in marvel movies).

I'm really quite critical myself when it comes to movies, but I figured I like all movies simply because someone is attempting to video some sort of story and share it with the world. most people are not at work when they put movies on, no stres, you are in your good place. In general whether you think a movie is good or bad you can still like parts of it or even just like the fact that you've learned never to watch another movie by this director for as long as you live. As human beings the things we say we hate we are often drawn to this is why they say love and hate is a very similar emotion, something being bad but still liking it is also something I regularly feel.
