I've found that knowing too much about making movies and the interal arts of it ruins most movies for those people. They see every flaw.

Same with watching or knowing too much about anything I suppose. Watch too much anime, you become cynical and basically start hating everything for one reason or another.
Watch too many movies and you start picking little things apart and make the practice worth more than the entertainment of the product.

Same with music theory...you know too much you start picking at the composition and not listening to the music anymore.

Read too much history, and you start pointing out every mistake ever made by anyone you read about (This is were I'm heading I fear).

The public doesn't care if things are filmed optimally...they just want to be entertained.


(Note: I have not watched any Nolan film...nor do I really think I ever will....I've more or less lost interest in movies and television in the last ten years)
