Yeah.

Film students learn to divorce themselves from the power of images fairly quickly. It sucks on one hand, since you lose the suspension of disbelief that casual filmgoers have the luxury of maintaining, but on the other hand it allows you dissect and study the form and content with a more objective stance.

It especially helps when you're watching a fiction film like this and you know it's fake and know what it's like to be standing just off camera holding the boom or a light reflector or walkie talkie.
