How can it be "thought-provoking" when it tells you what to think?

I quote from another earlier post:

"And I found an excellent center seat in the theatre's second-largest (52 ft. screen) stadium house -- there to sit disgusted by the blatant contrivances of this dreadful film. The writer/director makes you know he has some Terribly Important things to say and the lecture, the harangue never lets up. Just one instance of how this all misfires: The "racist" cop Ryan (Isn't it racist as well to use an Irish name here?) upbraids a black underling for her pissy, bureaucratic response to his father's medical predicament, and eventually he uses racial terms, but really, isn't he just rather undeft in handling underlings?"
