Okay first this graph is accurate
Second: (and I'm about to pull my "I did not care for the Godfather" moment.) I really don't like "No country for old men"
Like, no, I got no beef if you enjoy it. Just not my cup a tea, and I know cus I tried.
I first watched it on a 14 hr plane ride from Japan to the US to visit family. But after the flight I thought, "We'll no one gets a good experience with a movie on a plane. Duh!" So I rented the dvd and watched it 2 more times once during the day the second at night(to test the different vibes) and nope!
Like objectively, it's a good movie, script is tight, acting phenomenal, and the kills genuinely good. I watched a ton of video essays on YT and i understood their points, but like... meh.
I just don't vibe with it. And I think that really fuckin humbled me. Before, if I disliked something, I always thought it was because there was something wrong with the story/movie itself.
But this experience taught me that you truly can not jive with something, and neither you nor the story are wrong for that.
So now if I ask why someone doesn't like something and they say "It just isn't my cup of tea" I finally get it.
gone girl is less a "good for her" movie to me and more of a "deviously evil but charismatic murderer gets at a boring and vaguely unlikable guy" much in the same way no country for old men is
