does knowing how hamburgers are made break the immersion or help you appreciate the hamburgers?
it improves movies you have seen many times.

What if it's based on real events?

I stopped eating fast food now. Totally ruined.

I'll do you one better. The airport set for The Terminal was absolutely massive and done down to the last detail.

It breaks the immersion generally.
But generally you lose immersion anyway as you grow up.
When I was small I feel the world is so big and everyday going to the school or around the neighborhood is an adventure. Now everywhere every time period looks the same to me.

I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. I'll always watch behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, documentaries etc. I wish more movies did huge, multiple-hours-long making-of stuff like they did with Lord of the Rings

the naive joy of being fooled is certainly lost, but in return you learn more about your favorite hobby/craft
It breaks the immersion, but it's fine. As a kid I thought movies were magical and anything could happen. Now I can figure out the entire plot within the first fifteen minutes and twists that get me are rare.

For me, knowing that Xenomorphs prefer to shit into styrofoam cubes only serves to add to their mystique.
>>87047365
i think it depends on the genre.
Something like Blade Runner, knowing how its all made and all the models needed really make you at least appreciate that side of things.

Jesus christ, get a hold of yourself, man. Take control.

Depends. If people involved are dedicated and care about final product it can even enhance the experience for me.
But if actors give no fuck behind the scenes and giggle between takes of a very serious and dramatic scene, it rubs me the wrong way.
For example when I knew that Stephen Dillane did not care a bit about Stannis, ditched all the conferences and pretty much said "I'm here for the check, let's get this over with" it completely ruined Stannis for me. Maybe it's just me but it becomes selective focus thing for me and all I can see is times when he's bad and it reinforces my belief about "Damn he really doesn't care does he?"

Same. Everything is so stale.

I actually have the opposite opinion. I like it when veteran actors treat acting like just another job instead of being all high and mighty about their "craft". I don't care what your profession is, it becomes routine after you do it long enough.

That's a shame. Maybe try traveling more? Not sure where you're from but here in the U.S. we do have the advantage of experiencing wildly different scenery and climates as you travel across the country.

Not if you love it
>>87053071
You can love it but it's still routine. Like I'm sure plenty of GoT actors are on their phones or joking around right up until they're ready to shoot their scenes.

no
it makes bad movies much worse, but great movies much better
