 Becoming aware of one’s watching a movie is analogous to becoming acquainted with one’s being acquainted with pain, or becoming acquainted with one’s being acquainted with a shade of red. However, if the analogy is apt, the opponent might see it as a reason to doubt that the acquaintance relation is really there, for once we reflect on whether we are watching a movie it is almost always easy to determine whether we are, but the opponent has no easy time finding any such relation as acquaintance or direct awareness. Of course, the movie analogy is just that—an analogy. As already discussed in  section 2,  from the acquaintance theorist’s perspective, such analogies and metaphors are bound to be misleading in some respects. It might be more fruitful to direct one’s attention to it by describing it in some (hopefully) revealing way, as we did in  section 2:  acquaintance is that relation the subject had to pain before being engrossed in the conversation, the relation that ceased during the conversation, and that began again shortly thereafter.
