I think it’s highlighting a bad example (my fault) when the bigger point is that whether you can draw connections or not it doesn’t make the result strong, the intention can all be there and it still fall flat. Stories are more than math, if there’s not an emotional connection with the audience it doesn’t come together. Think about Back to the Future, analyze too deeply and the logic doesn’t hold up but it’s forgiven for the result, it works on an emotional level and we feel with the characters. Most people aren’t playing a points game with the movies, it’s not a score sheet, it’s a taste test.
