There’s a chance you care if you look deeply and subtly enough.

You may also be surrounded by lecturing idiots who make caring about folks lame, insufferable, or like losing a battle. A normal (subconscious) response to such a thing would be to pull back and not care, to get others’ nagging out of you.

That or, sometimes brains have to do bizarre, desperate things to be able to process something as awful as others’ pain like that. Those things would naturally have to be strong to have any effect, and may themselves have their own draw, which isn’t the same as liking the pain, it’s liking a coping mechanism.

Hell, maybe the movie just kinda sucked.
