That distinction, valid in many cases, is blurred by stories like 2001. According to its writers, the film intentionally gives the viewers some leeway to interpret the story in their own way. It's not just a question of figuring out what you're supposed to "understand", but also of imagining it for yourself.

Well, I have a problem with the "you don't like what I like, so you must be an elitist" attitude.
