And why does a movie always have to be 'entertainment?'
I wasn't 'entertained' by Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Kids, Bully, Gummo, In the Company of Men, The War of the Roses, Seven, any number of dark slices of the human experience. Or even more in documentaries such as Brother's Keeper, Capturing the Friedmans, even Gimme Shelter. But I often took something away from it that was moving or cautionary or unsettling, or otherwise memorable. Can't say that of every movie I see.
