How you experience movies

I thought this might be an interesting topic and how it relates to autism. Does anyone notice how you experience movies when you watch them? For me I see movies as a whole experience in terms of cinematography and sound as well as the characters and story. How a movie is shot and the lighting that's used as well as the sound tells as much as a story as the characters itself, I feel. I love nighttime visuals in a movie.

I recently seen the movie "Margin Call" which was made in 2011 about the 2008 financial crisis and loved the use of lighting and reflection. "Collateral" made in 2004 is another terrific example of the use of lighting and cinematography that really stands out. Movies to me feels like it can be a whole sensory experience.

It sounds as if you think like a movie maker, but can still be immersed without analyzing the techniques. That's rare. For me, a movie can easily be overwhelming with all the constant input, and I often miss significant, but brief activities.
