480055, the concept of "get it" is always subjective.

no matter how good a movie is, there will always be people who don't "get it" based on what they like and what experiences, biases, etc they bring into the movie experience
just like no matter how bad a movie is, there will always be someone who LOVES the shit
and not like in the "it's so bad, its good" ironic way
but in the way people who genuinely like "boondock saints" way
there is no universal criteria on what makes a movie good, no matter how many classes you've taken, no matter how much criticism you've read, no matter how many movies you've made or seen yourself
you're always biased and it remains subjective
i know people who refuse to watch the godfather because of the "let them lose their souls" scene
my roomate thinks "paid in full" is one of the greatest movies ever made
i know people who consider themselves movie buffs who think "do the right thing" is bad.
who the hell knows?
