Maybe it's passive for you because that's the only way you want to engage with media or because that's the media you engage with, but that by no means makes it passive for everyone, and a lot of media pretty much requires you to engage with it in some way to get the most out of it. The world doesn't consist of only the likes of Die Hard and 300, which are meant to be entertaining, but not the least bit thought provoking.
