Not saying you have to study it intensely. Reviews are just something I've never 'gotten', have never much held my interest recreationally or otherwise, and I'm trying to explain why, and/or get why it's so interesting to you.
I dunno, man, pretty much everything lately makes me feel like my life and the world at large are meaningless. You could probably pick anything. Okay, okay, serious answer... seriously, I have a hard time finding deep, artistic meaning in movies. They tend to make me feel more sentimental, and I tend to appreciate them more if they simply offer me a world at odds with my own (at least so it seems lately), such that it reminds me that there is more to life than work and food and rest. Again, ending with me feeling burnt out. Think normal. Er...examples, right. Maybe this would be better when I'm awake. Requires too much thought, sorry.
As for the latter thing...I mean I consciously think of them as junk food movies or whatever, but for the moment I am immersed in them, I can buy the idealistic world. Like some comic book movie, like, I dunno, Sin City, or Batman, or whatever. Maybe. Or something equally fantastical, though sometimes comic-like stuff can be more 'real' or comment on real society more than an idealized portrait of real life. So I dunno. I'm not much good for examples right now. I'm about to get my 3 hrs of sleep, then back to work.
