If a movie is worth seeing and remembering it "sticks in our mind" and we
may think a great deal about certain parts a day or so later, a spontaneous,
unplanned kind of analysis.

The result is opinion(s) we can pass on to others.  Some will agree, some
won't.  Hopefully they will disagree without being
disagreeable and everyone will avoid stepping on toes.
