Dear Mike and Eugene,
Your comments on hollywoods films are very interesting. When I read Eugene's
comment I was about to agree, then Mike's surprise brought another issue:
Is it that we ignore the socio-cultural context if it is not familiar to us?
I think probably we do at the level of perceptions and emotions. Probably,
unfamiliar context doesn't contribute much to meaning interpretation, though
it is informative by itself.
