Everything that we treat with preference: the style of clothing we have chosen, shoes, perfume, favorite music, books - everything can tell a little story about the person himself. You can create an idea for yourself about a particular person and by what films he calls his favorite …

Why do some movies become popular, while others go unnoticed, contrary to the expectations of the creators? Often the point is not in an unsuccessfully constructed advertising campaign, or miscalculations of marketers, and even not in the quality of an outsider movie. The reason may be an elementary inconsistency of the picture with the most widespread trends in society at the moment, stereotypes and dominant psychological types. Let's try to conduct a kind of fortune-telling based on the world's bestsellers, award-winning films, millions of box office receipts …

The Lord of the Rings

The main character is an oppressive music teacher who has problems with sexuality, psyche and her own mother. He lives with his mother, periodically sleeps in the same bed. With the psyche - sorry, not on friendly terms. The object of sexual lust is a young guy who throughout the film tries in vain to put the "teacher" to bed in the traditional way. It turns out he does it only at the end - he rapes the pianist to the screams of his mother, closed in the next room.

If you like this movie … There may be several options. Either a person has difficulty with sex, namely, sexuality is undisclosed, perhaps it was blocked in adolescence by strict upbringing and complexes. He is characterized by sexual fantasies with violence, he likes rough sex, fantasies arise in which the heroine becomes a victim of rape. Then it makes sense to talk about an outwardly prosperous girl from a good family, notorious and squeezed (in this case, the film compensates for the inner dissatisfaction. Or you are an aesthetic representative of a demigod. And you will like the film, because it is titled, fashionable, albeit strange and incomprehensible … You can also say that such a person is a victim of social stereotypes, the course adopted in certain near-creation circles for shocking, cultivating "original" ways of existence in general and copulation in particular, according to the principle: "The main thing is not like everyone else!"

P. S. Any joke has its share of a joke.
