I still don’t know exactly what Be Kind Rewind was trying to do, but I also am not totally sold on the idea that a movie (or a work of art in general) can’t just be about entertainment without needing a message. In Be Kind Rewind, you always knew what was going to happen, which didn’t reduce it’s enjoyment that much. It’s just, what did end up happening wasn’t THAT great, you know?
