People who do not believe in the divine power of art, look into the work and see the author. People who believe in this, they always see themselves in art.
There is no search for deep meaning. If you see the meaning in the work, then it is there. He did not have to come up with the author himself. The author is not always God, he cannot foresee everything. But if the author has invested in his creation at least a piece of the soul, then this piece has every chance to give birth to real life. Unpredictable, violent and full of a variety of meanings.
Skeptics don't like it when we talk about movies and books. They say we made it all up. What the author could not be so brilliant as to put into the history such subtle parallels and hidden meanings.
But they do not understand that art is not the author. We give it ourselves. The only question is how much we respect the available data.
The ability to understand art is the first step towards understanding life. No one invented any special life, right? Nobody put a special meaning in it? But this does not mean that we can not draw conclusions. To reflect, to look for patterns, to try to get to the bottom of the truth.
When a person realizes that meaning can appear in things by itself, he will understand a lot.
