These response are not incompatible with my query and provisional
respnse. They describe what the movie (book, etc) does for the
viewer/reader privately. That is fine, & in fact Any response in these
terms is acceptable. Can one respond to the question in terms of the
social order? 

I've picked up non-triial knowledge (or at least information) from works
I would regard as worthles, so that part of Max's response is perhaps
tautological.
