So far I have found that people who have faced some kind of trauma or depression in their life have really really loved it… and people who haven’t, haven’t.

Not saying that’s a blanket rule, just out of the people I know.

“You gotta be traumatized to enjoy this movie” is an interesting position. I’ve got plenty of trauma/depression and thought it was just okay. I truly believe most of the hype was clever marketing.

I haven’t faced trauma in my life but it is a top 5. To me the movie is special because I struggle with what I want to do with life. I am talented and excel at most things I put my mind to but I want to do more. This movie takes a step back, finds meaning in the absurdity of life, and basically tells us that a good life is one that you find meaning in.

Well you are not target audience obviously but people might find other aspect of movies interesting but it won’t make big impact for them like you. But i think this movie will be remembered for a wacky imagination. Maybe not for masses but in cinema history it will be remembered like Matrix in 1999.
