Film is a great way to show you an experience that may expand your perspective. The viewer is usually challenged by this as they have to empathise with a person outside of their comfort zone.
A good example is when a character first comes off as bad and you have to really feel his situation and empathise with him to understand why he made the choices he did and two people might walk away thinking different things about if he was right or wrong. This is a lot more involved than non challenging films where the intentions are out in the open.
Theyre fun if you’re in the mood but theres nothing wrong with chucking on something mindless, entertaining and enjoying.
Why the fuck would I want to be challenged as a viewer?
Life is already challenging enough.
