    Sure, but it is also the medium’s responsibility to help the audience understand.

      That’s true, but I’d argue that the more personal that any art is, the fewer people who will instantly understand their meaning.

      Think about it like this, if you were watching a movie in a language you don’t speak (without subtitles), you could still enjoy a lot of it, but might not be able to fully follow the story. But, the story is still there if you know how to hear it. Sometimes you just need someone else to help translate.
