Virtually every movie is a morality play of some sort. They all promote or attack something, even if it's as innocuous as motherhood. Often times, in the hands of a great director and screenwriter, those things are done so well that you don't really notice it. Other times, it's done so hamhandedly that it feels like they're shining a spotlight in your eyes and it's that uncomfortable. Done poorly enough, it jars you out of the movie and you start looking around at other people to see if they were hit by it as hard as you were. When we went to see Wrinkle in Time (opening day so I have an excuse), it happened and my wife looked at me at the exact same moment because it hit her too.

Of course, our own outlook has a major effect on which movies have that jarring moment when we are pulled out of the movie and look around. What is part of the fantasy to me may be a real slap in the face to you and vice versa. But if you've NEVER felt that, I guess you just don't go to movies with a perspective different from your mindset. It's an indication of your bubble and not an indictment of those who have experienced it. People don't go looking for it, they have it imposed upon them by lousy directors.
