As much as I enjoyed Portrait when I watched it I agree with you that the use of cinema as a tool for "education" and suchlike only results in simple, one dimensioned movies. It's disgraceful how frequent it is now for moviemakers (especially female ones) to boast about "what their movie teaches" or the "message" as if it was the most important part of a story.
Very interesting thoughts about yielding.
And I agree with you about Mulholland Drive being the best movie of this century AND on Babylon's glorious three hours ending in an equally glorious way.
