Multiple personal realities

To appeal to an objective world of extrinsic objects, as distinct from the subjective world of personal experiences, as the place where reality resides seems convenient until we have to take into account the huge variation in the way different people perceive the same events; the same arrangement of interior decor may seem to one person to be highly attractive while to another it may appear quite ghastly; looking through the customer reviews on a movie rental web site reveals that the same film can evoke diametrically opposing responses. Clearly in such cases different people have quite different subjective experiences when presented with objectively identical events. This weakens the case for a clear distinction between objective and subjective layers of reality and strengthens the argument that reality and subjective experience are synonymous, albeit different from person to person.
