The right kind of art

Do movies have to have big scenes, fights, and straight-forward? In addition to the popularity of the plot, Fast and Furious 7, which has no point of interest, can score so high, and the host with such a rich inner drama can actually score so low. Isn't the plot the soul of a movie? It is not good for a movie to be too literary and artistic for the audience to understand, but a movie that is completely straight-forward and has no emotional entanglement will be forgotten after watching it, and it cannot move the heart. I think the host has done a good job, some literary, but not too much.
