This is a touch more trivial an example but this concept has made certain movie genres more complicated for me, like action/adventure for example. Anytime there is a scene where *no name guy runs in and gets instantly shot* and the movie just continues apace, I think "that was *technically* a human being, a soul, an image bearer of God, with an entire life that led up to that moment where he appears for half a second only to get shot for my entertainment. I get that there is a sense in which this reflects real life and that a fictional story cannot possibly provide deep insght into every character. All the same, it keeps me from being desensitized to the weight of the things unfolding on the screen.
