I tend to agree with that and I think media manipulates at this subconscious level in very sophisticated ways - commercials certainly do and restaurants hire psychologists to design their menus ... the same techniques are used in film to direct and control attention and for other effects, so that I think it's hard to evaluate the effect a film may have from the way you consciously feel about it, especially in the moment.
