Where did I spend more than two hours?

I once heard such a sentence: The beauty of learning lies in making people confused! Perhaps this movie is meant to illustrate this truth.
I am not a scholar, so I can only look at this film from a public perspective. This film is not a simple and lively commercial film. , Can't make people feel relaxed, laugh and happy. The story is also very strange, I don't understand what reason he wants to explain? Isn't it a satire in the entertainment industry?
I rushed to see the numerous recommendations from various websites. The ratings are so high, and they all say they are high IQ movies. I can't help but hesitate. But thinking about the emperor's new clothes, I think it's better to be honest, I'm really not smart.
Maybe this is just a story about dreams and desires. I don't think I can understand it well, so I don't talk about the plot too much, so as not to be complained. I just want to say from the structure of the story that the non-academic statements about this structure are just a logical sensory feeling.
I always feel that whether you are an excellent scholar or an erudite master, the most remarkable thing is that you can put a complicated truth into a simple and easy-to-understand way, instead of making it more complicated to highlight your knowledge. Because the ultimate goal of any learning is to resolve problems rather than create problems, so leaving aside the so-called artistic theory, does this story have to be so complicated? Director, do you want people watching the movie to understand it or not? ?
Seeing a lot of people talking about Freud or something, I am confused again? What is the purpose of these psychologists writing books? Personally think it is for people to explore and discover themselves. In fact, they did achieve their goals to a certain extent. But what is the purpose of putting these theories into movies in some weird forms?
I believe that many people regard watching movies as a kind of entertainment, a kind of pastime, a kind of relaxation, and it would be better if they could learn something from it. I believe that very few viewers have universities who want to prove what they have learned in the film, right? In other words, if I am willing to study esoteric psychology works such as Freud, why should I come to the cinema?
I downloaded the movie and watched it. I can watch it again and again if I have time. I am glad that I didn’t call my parents to watch it together, because they definitely couldn’t understand it. So I think if it’s countless ordinary people who have been tired for a day. Walk into the movie theater and see this complicated and tweaked movie. Please think about how to give them an explanation and explain to them: "Where did I spend more than two hours?"
