Topic exploration: what do you think of asking west and east or not asking west and east?

Asking about the west and asking about the east and not asking about the west and asking about the east are all right, referring to the same movie. Asking about the west and the east is a more formal expression, while asking about the west and the east is a colloquial expression. Both are right, but they are used in different contexts and occasions. Whether you ask West East or West East, it is a correct description of the film.
