>film contains symbolism
Oh no, having to think when you're watching a movie must be really difficult for you. You must hate subtitles too.
>People actually believe symbolism is intellectual

Yes, when the main character stepped on that budding rose I truly understood that it was wrong for society to shame deflowered girls, so deep muh smurts. Can't wait to talk about it in english class :^J god Im smart
Meanwhile, all these symbolism freaks have never read a book outside of a highschool recommended reading list. You know, the kinds of people who have the great gatsby as their favorite book of all time.
Fuck it.

Movies are a visual medium, anon. They can't explain things in detail the way a book can, instead movies have to show you everything. Symbolism is just part and parcel of the medium, nothing more nothing less
>>29011087
The latter. Obviously there's nothing wrong with symbolism, I just hate when it's used as a substitute for depth.
