Is fully understanding movies in your TL one of the endbosses of language learning?

There's quite a few endbosses in language learning. One of them being sitting around a table with a bunch of natives having a group chat, having 100 % comprehension and being able to respond fast in real time.

Another one is overhearing a conversation between natives on the street/behind you in line or whatever (low volume). Both of these are notoriously difficult, and I've seen tons of people on this sub getting crazy realitychecks (on the verge of tears lol).

Want to preface this by saying that I'm fairly new to language learning. Based on this sub I've had this impression that watching movies is supposedly one of the easier ones?

I know about 1500 words in my TL and tried to watch a movie last week. By word count alone I should be able to pick up 70 % of individual words (even if I can't string them together and understand context since I'm lacking listening practice). Yet, when I watched the movie, I could barely understand anything. Crazy realitycheck.

Really makes me wonder if watching a movie with no subtitles is one of the more challenging parts of language learning because there's so much noise/stuff going on. You have actors/accresses acting disressed, talking fast, whispering, tons of sound effects and stuff going all over the place. Even when watching in your NL it's hard to pick up 100% without subtitles?

Podcasts, livestreams, clips, videos, or someone talking directly to you are super easy in comparison to movies to be honest. Usually the sound is the main focus of the content. Usually crystal clear audio with good speakers.
