Simply read the plot summary on Wikipedia to find out what happens, then you don’t even need to watch it once.

I have spoiled plenty of movies this way and decided they weren’t worth watching after reading the summary yes

I guess I don’t get it. Is the point of watching a movie, for you, to find out what happens in it?

I kind of view most of human communication as storytelling. We tell each other stories about things that have happened to us, we direct movies about stories both real and imagined, we read books that are retelling of stories that lead to other stories, or imagined stories... 1/2

So if most of communication and interaction is expressing past or imagined stories, and this does apply to songs (singing about stories), paintings (an instant in time in a story) and poems (writing indirectly about stories), is there another point than figuring out the story?

Well, there are only six types of story, so you should stop consuming narrative driven art full stop. Unless, of course, you can find value in something other than plot points. Otherwise The Old Man and The Sea is about fishing.https://www.mhpbooks.com/there-are-only-six-kinds-of-story/ …

The Old Man and the Sea is basically The Alchemist but mercifully shorter.
