I'm reminded of Lars von Trier's Melancholia. I don't recommend it to anyone but it's the best, most visceral portrayal of the condition I have found in any medium. Watching it was strangely cathartic.
Would you say it is convenient to use it for writing, say, 500 words at a go?
If you only watch the story-driven scenes in Lawrence of Arabia, and skip the prolonged shots of the desert, you would miss out feeling the same vastness and heat Lawrence is feeling.
There is a limit to how much a film can make you think or feel. Films that reach the highest limits need "boring" voids in-between the primary scenes. These voids are not to ingest more, but to help digest what has been ingested in previous scenes, with subliminal scenes and silence that let the right thoughts and feelings grow.
