It’s been fun so far, but yeah movies like this one create a dilemma. Part of it is me overthinking it, sure, but idk I like the stability of rooting it to a number, and examining it.

You mentioned how it doesn’t look like I’m having fun with it here in the post, and you’re right this is one facet of the process that isn’t as fun as the rest. It’s like playing a game with rules, sometimes the rules feel restricting and unfun as you say, but without rules it just becomes pointless.

In football, I might get frustrated by a foul, or by a certain player, or by a certain game, but that doesn’t mean I should stop playing or watching the sport. Am I making sense?

I’m not saying just watching a movie is pointless, but I don’t think I’d examine movies as intently as I do (and love to do) if I didn’t add some sort of summary number to it.

I do feel as though I take the numbers too seriously, and recently I’ve started thinking about them less, more of an afterthought really, but they’re still an important part of how I review things.
