In a sense, the concerns displayed by "Holy Cars" are justified. The vast majority of audiences cannot fully understand a movie. The medium of communication between them is film, which is too symbolic. The director spends months to years transforming his thoughts into these complex symbols (the presentation of these symbols depends to a greater extent on the environment), and the audience takes two hours to extract an idea from these symbols, This will inevitably lead to spoilage. An in-depth analysis and reflection on the film and an understanding of the film's expression may catch the director's mind more and more, but most of the general movie audiences do not have these conditions, and they do not need it. All they want is to watch. The joy of shadows. So, it’s not that movie audiences don’t understand movies, but that the expression of movies is not destined to be centered on the director. It is influenced by the audience to a greater extent.
If the film is treated as a serious art, does it lose something essential? For example, entertainment and mass?
