What to watch without watching the story

Recently, I watched several masterpieces of Stephen King in one breath, and found that his stories are actually not new, maybe they were new in that era or not necessarily. Like Dreamcatcher and The Mist are alien bugs, not to mention stunts, no matter how good stunts are, they are the same bugs. But he usually arranges the best part of the story (I mean the movie) as short as possible (such as the escape in "The Mist") or as small as possible (such as "Shaunker's Redemption" only has a cold prison And "The Shining" Connaught Big Hotel). Then try to express the entanglement, fear, and change of the character's thinking and emotions as much as possible, and to be able to express the details to such a level. Although I have only watched the process of making a movie, I can also understand how difficult it is.

Of course, many people just want to watch the story, the story is not new, the special effects are not good, and it may lose its appeal to some audiences. But this is also his characteristic. Those who like psychology will naturally like it, and those who pursue large-scale visual impact will naturally be disappointed. I especially don't like to see some contemptuous comments. It seems that the person who speaks must be low enough to show that he is good enough. . . . Actually very speechless.
