Over the past few years, I've been increasingly more interesting in how films are made; everything from writing, to cinematography, animation, CGI, and other things. But now I feel as if I over analyze movies too much. My friends and family get kind of annoyed at how much I over analyze things. They tell me to just "watch the movie". The thing is, I find it enjoyable to do more than just "watch the movie". I like to fully explore it.
This isn't really a question. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks of this. It's kind of bugging me.

I do exactly the same thing, sometimes i think of alternative plots while the films going though.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but if you have friends watching it with you it cant hurt to watch more and talk less.

If you're just watching a movie for plot, you're missing 99% of the movie. But since your friends don't seem to understand this, it's probably best to keep comments at a minimum. Just understand that there's nothing wrong with you; you're just able to appreciate film on a much deeper level than any of your friends.

There is nothing wrong with that!!! I am an A level film studies student and because of that I find myself doing it alot aswell, i don't think there is anything wrong with it. I love looking at scenes and thinking more about the feelings it creates and the directors intentions and how that is put across in the cinematography, story, dialogue and Mise - en - scene.
I favour films more now that i actively watch them rather than passively watch them and take them at face value.
Besides i think that analysing a film more allows you to come to a better opinion of it, most films nowadays are so similar and mass produced that we all tend to have the same opinion about films.
So there isn't anything wrong in analysing a film. TBH I don't think you can really over analyse a film, unless you create things from nothing remotely about the film. but untill then you are not over analysing a film.
