Sweet Mother,
How should we watch a film? If we identify with the characters and if the film is tragic or full of suspense, we get so involved that we cry or feel frightened. And if we keep aloof we cannot appreciate it properly. So what should we do?
It is the vital that gets touched and moved.
If you watch mentally, the interest is no longer the same; instead of being moved or troubled, you can calmly judge the value of a film, whether it is well made or well acted, or whether the scenes have any artistic value.
In the first case you are a “good audience”, in the second case you are more peaceful.
Blessings.
