No but that was a nice try. It means that to a large extent we get out from a movie or music or any other art depends highly on what we bring to it ourselves. If I don't speak the language I won't like Bicycle Thief. There is a nice easy remedy for that problem, subtitles. That rmedy is simply not available for so many other things that a veiwer may need but not have at his or her disposal. I don't think you bring the neccessary things to the table to appreciate Lord of the Rings. That, or you are simply holding them back because of your biases toward blockbuster movies. What would you think if some hick from Oklahoma said "I saw this Kabuki thing the other day. There was this guy in a bad hooker makeup posing like he had to take a dump. Well, kaka." Where is the problem here? The Kabuki or the critic?
But in a sense yeah, to each his own. No one is obligated to get Kabuki or genre movies either. But if you don't get them to begin with you are simply not in a position make an insightful comentary.
