Understanding this quote
The sentence plays on the phrase “see it through,” which usually means following something to its conclusion. Applied to film, it suggests a frustrating limit: the viewer can watch a film until its ending, but cannot see through the medium itself or beyond what it shows. The humor comes from treating this wordplay as a serious problem.
