Somebody can understand cinema but dislike some works that are great, or too experimental and then you can also say that given person got plebfiltered.
I disagree, i would say Theo is close to his characters and his films are very emotionally resonant, especially something like Eternity and a Day, The Travelling Players and Landscape in the Mist. I'm not claiming he did not understand cinema but he had a very limited perception of it.

Q : The most important thing in your ftlms seems to be the consistence of every single shot. It has to have its own fo rce and build up its intensity as it goes.
A : It is for this reason that my personal film language is based on expanding the dimension of time. Before you enter into the gist of any given shot, you have to be given the time to find out the relations between the actor and the landscape. For this reason, I love Tarkovsky's Stalker; Nostalghia, I like less; Sacriftce, I do not like at all. As far as I am concerned, the Holy Trinity-that of the actor, the landscape, and the camera-is perfect in Stalker

You don't need to enjoy every type of filmmaking to understand cinema. Tarkovsky was well aware of what horror genre is, what action films are, what were they supposed to accomplish, but he jus didn't enjoy those types of cinema. This is different from a person who saw, let's say a David Lynch film and said "it was meaningless, and random lmao" while at the same time having film experience of only watching marvel flicks and meme movie of the week.
I myself don't enjoy most films of Steven Spielberg or George Lucas. In fact I believe they did more harm to american cinema than good with their influence. But they did an influence, they're remebered while not being a modern "hype" filmmakers like Nolan for example. But I would never say that they don't understand cinema, and If I ever was to argue with a controvertial opinion of theirs I would not resort to just buzz words.

I beg to the heavens, anyone with any interest in film please watch this lost masterpiece “Demons” by Toshio Matsumoto, the greatest revenge film ever made. so far the only copy that exists is this less than stellar YouTube copy, but the last 45 minutes of this film changed me, this is a brutal violent work of art that feels like a blend of Mizoguchi, Kurosawa, and Teshigahara all while topping them in every aspect.
Seriously watch it.
