Neoformalist film analysis

In order to really understand neoformalism I would need some examples because I was not able to fully understand the article. I recognize that neoformalism believes that art should not be a form of communication between people and instead it should challenge what the viewer is use to seeing in the world. I agree with the purpose of the method because it encourages people to thinking critically and challenging themselves.  The method seems very flexible and adaptable to ones personal liking, there’s no right on wrong, one is just encouraged to view films from different angles and make assumptions. I think that behind neoformalism is the idea that people are blindly watching movies and don’t take the time and effort to think analytically and appreciate all the subtle detail and time put in. People should be learning from the movies and see each ones as an experience. I wonder how other film theories perceive this method.
