Reporting things that make no sense is not 'trying' to MAKE sense

I don't know why people seem to misunderstand things, but it's pretty amazing how some mo.. I mean, 'bipedal entity''s viewpoint to things can warp, twist, mangle and color what is actually done or said.

If I say something doesn't make sense, it only means that the writers didn't think something through, and it could never work in real life, which means it breaks the immersion and ruins the movie experience, because you need a semblance of realism in almost any movie to be able to enjoy it.

If -anything- can happen to anyone at any moment, or movie breaks its own logic by doing something it's not supposed to be able to do, or something that would cause something else, but that's not taken into account, it's just bad writing, and someone has to call it out.

It has nothing to do with 'trying' anything, you can't 'try to make sense' out of something that doesn't. If something makes sense, no trying is necessary. If it doesn't, no amount of trying will change it into making sense.

This is why I can't understand people of this planet. They often lie even about what they just said. They might have said thing A, then someone says something different, then they say 'that's what I just said!', although no such utterances parted their face in recent time.

I have never 'tried' to make any sense, I have simply NOTICED things that do not make sense, and reported those observations here. I might be wrong in some cases, but at least I explain my observations, so anyone wishing to challenge them can easily do so.

Trying doesn't enter into it - it's even questionable, whether 'trying' exists at all. You are not the one that has to make sense out of things, it's the writer's job, and the writer has FAILED in all movies I have commented on so far.

If 'trying' was enough to make sense out of something that doesn't, I wouldn't even need to write THIS post, as I would have been able to twist the original ignorance expressed by someone's post title into something that does make sense.
