not deep enough?
12 Jul 2006 03:31 pmI often hear people say stuff...particularly about mainstream books, movies or manga/anime, that "it's not deep enough" or "it doesn't make you think".
Strangely enough, those same books/movies/anime/manga give me plenty to think about.
I wonder, does something have to be purposely contrived to be philosophical and "deep" before these people feel obliged to think?
Some people become so derisive about it, that others read these mainstream stuff and analyse them.
Sometimes I think it might be these arrogant people who are the less sophisticated.
There are plenty of things to look for in the deep, and so any is easily found. To make some thought of something that is seemingly shallow and understated might in fact take more consideration.
And many times I wonder...do people just say stuff like that to make themselves sound intelligent?
...That, had been, totally incoherent.
