Gotta always keep in mind that film is a form of art and whether we like the piece or not, it's generally what the director wanted to do (unless the studio cut into it). As a director, you basically do what YOU want to do, given your budget, the actors you're dealing with and of course the script which is sometimes worse than the direction. We all love films here, for different reasons. We love a film because of what it's able to do for us emotionally even on a simple gut level. Some films don't move us much and some repulse us for a variety of reasons but like a painting... you like it, hate it or are indifferent. No matter what our reactions are to films, we all know what we like and don't like and often, it has little to do with what the director's true intent was. Some director's just want to have fun and don't bother trying to make a real masterpiece. That's okay because if I was a director, I'd do things my way too.
