When we give an opinion, sometimes we say more about ourselves that that about which we express the opinion. We may think we are assessing the thing or the idea or the target, but we say something about ourselves. Hence we want to take care when we analyse a film that we take the film on its own terms and assess it according to whether it succeeded in its own terms.
No problem with the emotional responses to the film we saw. That's part of it, too. It is just that we do not want to stop there.
Good group! Lively!
