you gotta have the gift, kid

There is a certain way of watching we got accustomed to as we grew up. You gotta shake that off and just starting experiencing it, rather than just following the plot. I wouldn't say there is science to it.

A general accumilation of visual library/historical context wouldn't hurt though.

Be smart and have an open mind

There is a difference between what the filmmaker intended and what you personally see in a film (surrealists like Lynch or Buñuel blur this line)

Pay attention and take your time. If this still doesn't help, you're simply not a perceptive type, and that's fine. Most people probably aren't.


also, not meming here but autistic people, and I mean people with the literal disorder, not the derogatory term, have trouble comprehending allegories or layered meanings. It's why they're the first to call something like Ulysses pretentious but champion a fact based medium like engineering.
>>
>>63209111
I have an autistic room-mate who is going to school for engineering and he hates movies. I think he only likes Futurama and thats it. Also Dexter but that is because he can relate to his autism. Also he only likes like two bands

Autists generally dislike empathy based or abstract mediums like art. It's not their fault, it's just the way they are. The world needs its engineers and scientists.

Funny thing is he is obsessed with Japanese culture but does not like anime he actually told me once that he was more "Jap" then me because he can speak Japanese meanwhile my great grandfather was 100% Japanese.

hah, engineering is one of the actual professions where the

meme can actually apply if you got good grades and are in the right field. And even humble electricians can make killings for easy work.

>he has never heard of Engineering Design.

Holy shit, why would you so blatantly lie on the internet? Designers have engineering experience but they don't focus on engineering, they design and the engineers do the maths.. essentially.

I've been in the field on the design side in a civil aspect. We hand drawings to designers who work with levels and do all the structural, but trust me they don't do ANY of the hard intellectual work, unless something doesn't evidently work.

I've watched an engineer make 100K just simply looking at a drawing for 2 seconds and putting his signature on it.

You have no idea what you are talking about, I come from a family of civil designers. And was one myself, but fuck sewers.

This is exactly my fucking point, and it's the designers who are the professionals.

It's pretty fucking easy to stake your reputation on the work of someone else when you know the quality of said persons work.

So yes, you have been lying, you're a neck beard and you have no idea how the field of engineering works except for maybe a semester you did in architectural engineering.

I won't even get started on the fact you focused on the architectural side.

This is literally fact though. Someone who likes the culture more is more of 'x' than someone who simply has it in their blood.

Been to Japan, this literally happened. Except for the applauding part.

Go walk around Akihabara with a DxD shirt on, or some other moe/echhi series (maybe try Love Hina), you will get all sorts of weird japs wanting your dick.

Which you are completely ignoring, everyone has ties to that land. Everyone has ties to all land, anon. We are all of this earth. I am simply more Japanese than you as I partake in the culture which you refuse to.

The more you post the more you look bad. You have no ties to Japan your ancestors never set foot there they had no part in that culture mine did. My ancestors fought in wars that helped shape the politics, they sired generations of children there, in fact I probably have some distant cousins still living there who are full blooded Jap. My great grandfather's name was Ishuke Ishikawa yours was probably Bill Smith or some shit. You are not Japanese just like a nigger who eats brats and speak German is not German. You are the poser idiot.

Yeah but, you don't watch anime. And I do.

So? You know anime is not entirely reflective of Japanese culture you fucking idiot. That is like saying "I watch Looney Tunes that must mean I am American" Do you think 40-80 year olds in Japan watch Anime too? Nope so you not even getting the whole culture by watching it. Nope you are getting Jap culture dumbed down for teens and idiot poser Americans like you.

Also I may not like anime but some of my favorite movies are "Sword of Doom" and "Throne of Blood" and I saw most of Kurosawa's movies. So check mate faggot keep watching your kiddy shit.

>>63210557
But anime isn't aimed at Americans, I also read Manga, you don't. I am therefore, two times as Japanese as you are.

You can't argue with this logic, gaijin.

>"I watch Looney Tunes that must mean I am American"
If the two people conversing both had 0 participation in the American culture than the one who watched the looney tunes would be, in fact, more American than the other.

mostly its to do with feeling anon.

Do you ever cry when you're upset?
Do you laugh out loud easily?
Can you talk to women comfortably?
Do you feel safe in places with a lot of people?


Extroverts interpret movies quite easily because they can emphathise with multiple characters.

Introverts tend to be shy and not make friends easily, so a movie really has to resonate with them, eg the characters are a facsimile of themselves, and then they become obsessed with it.

Most tech minded people tend to be introverts, and most artistic and socially engaged people tend to be extroverts.

A lot of your personality just has to do with early childhood experiences, and how your parents reacted to certain situations. Imprinting in ages 1-3 is very strong, and stays with you for a lifetime. Nobody is born with a personality, you have inherited characteristics based on genetics and appropriated or learned behaviors based on your environment.
