Age and State of mind
Our state of mind gets more and more complicated as we ages ....
the mind is care-free when we were kids, before filled in with love, infatuation, pressure from studies but requires not much of planning when comes to teenager and becoming more and more realistic when reaching twenties..
take the type of movies that we watched for example,
during kindergarden, any animation that moves and make fun of themselves is already enough to make us happy ...

be it donald duck chasing its nephews, coyote ugly struggling for road-runner..
then we upgraded to something that has some storyline ... and ass-kicking!
we don't care whether the plot is repetitive every weeks, as long as the side that we support wins..
thundercats, power rangers, ultraman, baja-hitam all falls into this category

and the storyline is same
started with peace, then the villain had some 'brilliant' plan, which seems to work and starts to smashing the building replicas.. the hero appears to fight, showing macho and then struggles to win... then with few round of dragging, he/she/they shows the ULTIMATE move, and the villain is gone ( and returns again the next week's episode)
then we are to movies!
at this stage, due to the limitation on the technical knowledge and the language vocabulary, we love movies as long as the graphics and visual effect is nice...
car squeezing through busy traffics without accidents, jumping buildings without getting injured, able to sprint even though got shot, 1 whole swat team shooting at 1 person but none of them hit the target etc

but it doesn't matter... as long as it has gun-shooting, car chasing, extreme stunts ... then it is good enough ...
then after getting to know more and more information, you'll start to have opinions, concepts and rules
coz u know how ridiculous to survive more than 2m if going against the highway traffic

coz u know a reverse gear can't beat a car flooring at 4th gear
coz u know the legs can easily break when falling from 4m high
coz u know he can't forgive her that easily after what she had done to him
and much more
and u put this expectation of realisticism into it, you starts to kill the mood of the movie and not enjoying it instead
u know, its good to free your mind and just enjoy the show...
this is what i learned when watching 2012 last week..
besides, why so serious?
