I watch movies, but I cannot understand the story as a whole.

When I watch a movie, I can follow the story, but
I cannot explain the plot.

I sort of understand the flow of the story, but
I don't always understand it correctly.

I am bad at summarizing stories, so it is just difficult to understand and explain the story as a whole.

I don't know if it's because I'm not smart or not paying attention, but due to the characteristics of my brain, my central coherence is weak.
I focus on the details of the story rather than the whole.
It is difficult to synthesize it into a big picture,
and I am bad at extracting the main points, making it hard to grasp the skeleton of the story.

Also, my working memory is weak.

I can enjoy it while I'm watching, but I cannot
output it well.

Therefore, if I don't do anything like recalling the flow and content of the story for a few days, I forget what the story was about.

I watched it, but I forgot the content,
which feels like a waste.

People often say about movies they found very interesting,
“I want to erase my memory and watch it again,”
but
I want to remember it.

That is exactly why I feel a bit frustrated.
