People sometimes say they have trouble understanding a film, but I think they understand much more than they realize. Because we’re all blessed with intuition — we really have the gift of intuiting things. Someone might say, I don’t understand music; but most people experience music emotionally and would agree that music is an abstraction. You don’t need to put music into words right away — you just listen.
