2. "Most people don't go to see films to be challenged" In response to In response to 0
Most people look for a release or something that they can just turn their brains off and enjoy for two hours. On their time off from work, house work, etc. they don't want to be lectured about what's wrong in the world or given some depressing look at life. They want entertainment.
After reading briefs or whatever all day, I'm sure many lawyers just want to see Johnny Depp act funny rather than invest in a deeper film.
