Working for a VFX company has made it difficult for me to appreciate a good film for being a good film. Most of the time when i see a film now i find it hard not to look at it from a technical perspective as that is what i do day in day out.

That might be your Achilles heel, I find that in industry people and artists in general.

They tend to lose the ability of appreciating an album or a film without summoning their skewed view.

For example, my friend who is a recording artist who also works in music studios tends to lean toward his style of music or starts appreciating the production of an album rather than the album itself.

Of course each of these technical elements play into the final product itself. After all, what is a film or an album except for the summation of a collective artistic effort ?

That said, you can't focus on one element and use it to define whether something is good or bad.
