As someone who doesn't have a film degree, I'm surprised that the degree doesn't teach OP that movies are subjective.
As someone with a film degree, I can safely say film buffs are among the most gatekeeping of gatekeepers, right along metalheads (which I also am). "Subjective" is not a word in their dictionary.
It's true with any art.
Art is something so heavily based in opinion that you don't actually need any formal knowledge or training on the subject whatsoever to have an opinion on it.
This leads to every know-nothing shouting their opinions because all opinions are "equally valid" in this context of subjectivity. After all if you watch a lot of TV, you must know a lot about it right?
Have had this when I tell people I'm not into Gojira. "But they're some of the most talented and technically proficient musicians!"
Ok. I didn't say they werent skilled. But like damn I don't like the way their shit sounds.
