You live by your analogy, and you die by it

I am glad you brought up the music subject, as it demonstrates how wrong you are.

One does not evaluate (intuitively) works of art based on their genre.

When I am driving and a catchy and beautiful country song hits the air, I do not think: "This is a country song, so I better quickly change my scale to properly evaluate it".

No, I simply instantly know whether it speaks to me.

And I instantly do the same for jazz, classical, folk, pop... doesn't matter one bean. There are great things to be found everywhere, and you know when you find them. If thing is beautiful then you can see it right away... provided, of course, you have sufficient education, experience, intuition etc.

Same with movies. I completely reject the notion of defining genre. If you have to mention the genre as a crutch, then the movie is deficient. I don't usually watch animations, but I took a look at the Shrek, and it hit a good note, in a matter of a couple of minutes.

Nothing like that is present in the LOTR. It simply didn't matter to me whether it was on or off, I could have walked away any second. With Shrek I wanted to continue watching.
