Not everyone likes a movie the same way!
The other day, some of my friends were talking about Dev-D and how good it was... I thought that it must be a "Super Movie" as one of my friends described it. I decided that I MUST see the movie; after all many were giving such good reviews...
Finally! I saw the movie, the concept and acting was pretty good, but did I like the movie? Not at all!! I felt that it was too boring and rather tasteless movie (My personal views - I am sure many will beg to differ). This incident made me think - What makes people like or dislike a movie?
After doing a lot of research ;) I concluded that there are broadly four ways or rather perspectives in which people see any movie.
1. Put yourself in the shoes of one of the characters of the movie
2. Focus on one or more favorite actor(s)
3. Be neutral - Something is happening, you are seeing it but you are not involved in it.
4. Be neutral - Judge by the merit of the film

When people watch with this perspective, they like a movie very much if they "see themselves" in the movie, more so if the events in the movie correlate to some events with their lives....
2. Focus on one or more favorite actor(s)

Oh! Sharukh, my favourite hero is in there. This must be a good movie!!
This is how people feel about the movie. The conclusion is generally drawn even before seeing the movie :)
3. Be neutral - Something is happening, you are seeing it but you are not involved in it.

People having this view point are generally lost! The movie does not matter much to them and they see the movie for fun/enjoyment. They do not have any specific view point on any movie
4. Be neutral - Judge by the merit of the film
This category looks at the movie from analytical view. Judgement on the movie is done based on the match between the content of the movie and the beliefs of the viewer. Generally, there is no pre set notion involved in the judgement of the movie.
It is rather difficult to classify people in these groups, but it is correct to say that people see different movies in different perspectives for each movie. Some see the same movie repeatedly because they see their life similar to a character in the movie but some see it just for fun!
Summarizing it : It is a nice world to be in and movies make it a bit more attractive :)

There is one more category:
5. People who decide it based on the rating given by TOI

That category is also there
There is one more:
6. What you learn from a movie (people like me, who're learning sprees may think so ;) )
:)
Learn from a movie? hmmm...
People see the movie in only one way :) through their eyes :P
The inferences they draw from the movie is purely the reflection of themselves !!
Dada, did I say that that people could see a movie with anything other than eyes!? :)
