Dialogue isn't everything, you know. One of the most poignant scenes of 2001 involved a computer singing a song. If you don't comprehend all that's going on underneath that simple dialogue, I don't know what to say.
Not everything needs to be spoon-fed to the viewer. Some of us prefer subtlety.
BTW, I noticed that you didn't even bother to respond to my book comment.
