If the movie you don't understand,do you continue?

If I'm watching a movie in the cinema and it is becoming strange then I might as well stay hoping that I will understand it eventually. The price of a movie ticket does not come cheap anymore here. If I'm just watching on a television then probably I will immediately change the channel.

Yah, I sometimes discontinue watching a movie when i find it boring or I don't know, sometimes I just don't feel like watching so I switch to another movie again. But sometimes if I don't have anything more to watch, I got back to the film that i did not finish watching and I continue watching it.But most often, I skip some boring scenes and just want the ending.hehehe

If I get bored and don't seem to understand anything on what I'm watching I just stop watching it. Matrix Sequel is good unfortunately I don't understand it...lol... maybe I'm just not fond of those kind of sci-fi movies so I didn't watch it at all.

Well if i dont understand the movie i usually finish watching it and review it again so i will be able to understand it. Maybe some of here doesnt like that idea but i like to find out the story what is it all about. Since i already watch it i will try to understand and find it out maybe i miss something important seen in the movie to clear those mystery of the movie.

hi laura!

well it really depends on the situation. if it is just a home and we have the dvd copy, then i have the option not to continue. but if i were at the moviehouse, i think i will continue for the sake of the money that i have paid the theater. i know, it is agonizing to continue watching a movie for two hours especially if you don't understand it. but well, i guess it is human nature, wanting to get your money's worth and you end up enduring a really bad movie.

so what i do with my husband is to really choose the movie that we want to watch at the theater. usually it is those big movies like spiderman and superman. other than those types of movies, we watch them on dvd at home ....hehe pirated of course. hehe because my brother in law buys them and supplies them to us.

take care all and God bless you!:-)

Hello! Well that is a very interesting question. It always happened to me eveytime I watched movies especially foreign movies. I just remembered watching a chinese movie entitled "The Banquet". Since majority of chinese movies needs interpretations, I had a hard time understanding that movie.To the point that I really did watched it five times, I never stop watching that movie not until I fully understand it.

That is funny thing to do. But if you really have the spirit to understan the movie, then why not do watch it as many times as you want until you fully understand such.After all, you will fell no regret because you did undrestand it.

well for me if im watching a boring movie ill sit there and still watch it just to give the film the benefit of a doubt, even while my brain is shooting a million msgs of " Move, WALK AWAT FROM THIS BORE FEST OF A FLIM!!" ill still sit there and strain myself to get in the myst of the story lmao,

There has to be somethin gabout the movie that intrigued me to begin with, so even if I do not completely understand it I try to watch it in the hopes that understanding will come. If the movie is even slightly entertaining I may even give it a second run-through in the hopes that I will understand it. I like being challengedto grasp things I would not normally try.

yes, i would continue and if i dun get it, i would watch it again either by downloading or get a copy. i would not spend money to watch it again in cinema as it is not worth it and i think that is what the director wanted. pp who dun get it to pay and watch again. i would note the movie and once i can find it online, i would watch it again to understand it. if not, i would discuss and chat with my friends on them and we can pool together our thinking and chances are, we can know the meaning of the movies and their scenes

Whether I continue or not depends on my mood, I think. Sometimes I give up pretty fast. If a film is too strange or if I just don't understand it, I usually don't have enough patience to keep on watching it. If I am very interested in the topic of the film, I might continue a little longer, even if I don't understand much of it. Somestimes I let the film play without really watching it, instead I listen to the film while doing something else.
