Film critics debate the impact of spoilers on cinematic quality

A debate regarding the impact of spoilers on the cinematic experience has gained traction following viral comments by film specialist Sebastián De Caro. The discussion centers on whether knowing a plot twist or key detail beforehand destroys a film's value.

Critics argue that if a spoiler ruins a movie, the film itself was likely weak, as quality cinema offers more than just narrative surprises. While knowing major twists in films like ‘The Sixth Sense’ or ‘Star Wars’ changes the initial emotional impact, proponents of this view suggest that the cinematic value remains intact for subsequent viewings, allowing the work to be appreciated through different lenses, such as shifting from horror to melodrama.
