Many people enjoy discussing and judging the morals of characters in films, but that’s not the main point. Very few characters are entirely good or entirely evil, which tends to result in dull and poorly made movies. Regardless of whether viewers resonate with the story, they should show compassion for the characters. It’s important to interpret their motives and circumstances to understand what led them to make certain decisions and to reflect on ourselves.
That’s not unpopular, it’s wrong. Movies are criticized when the characters are one dimensional and lack moral nuance.
Is “films are solely intended for you to evaluate morals of the characters” the popular opinion?
Honestly I’d wager there are more people who dislike thought-provoking films than those who have to the opinion you’ve described. The most popular films in the world were intended to be fun
This (supposedly unpopular) opinion could have used a couple of concrete examples.
I would go further still: it is generally a bad idea in life to evaluate people’s morals. Make clear what your own are, try to live up them, and leave it at that.
But that is another “unpopular” opinion altogether.
