Yes. Don't worry about thinking during a film, you are simply supposed to FEEL while watching. If you think, it's just a bonus.
You do not have a problem, you simply need to watch more films. The patterns will arise. Themes will become more familiar. Genres and cliches will define themselves.
And if the themes and ideas of a film linger with you or become more clear after the fact...that's a good thing. You are learning to analyze film. Keep it up, It gets easier.
And when you think about a film after the fact...watch it again. Films are meant to be revisited, that's the difference between films and plays.
