O, almeno, è così che dovrebbe andare. Se però il film tocca argomenti a noi noti, magari con pretese di realismo, può capitare che la nostra mente non sospenda l’incredulità e analizzi l’opera, finendo con apprezzarla od odiarla a prescindere dalla sua bellezza. C’è una categoria particolarmente fastidiosa, sotto questo aspetto, che si aggira nel buio delle sale cinematografiche: gli astrocosi.
