Right, but it can also be obnoxious to beat over the head with the same concept over and over. ]
I don't know why you ascribe smugness to it, someone that watches movies for a living is obviously gonna prefer films that don't waste time telling the audience something more than necessary.
Since the audience seems to miss the same point over and over again, it might be less than necessary
Or they might be the wrong audience, a little of column A and B. Of course the arts are about communication, which requires effort on both parties, so each side bears some of the blame. But "we need to create something so obvious that nobody will miss it" just ends up producing people who are more oblivious. The computer simplification trends of the 2000s and 2010s resulted in a generation that knows even less about technology.
