I felt the same way about the first hour of the new mission impossible movie. It was so annoying to me that I left after that, so maybe it got better in hour two.
This comment is spot on. It felt like a mix between a short, and ad for... Generation tiktok
Last time I watched the movie 'The Irishman' with family, they all seem pretty tuned out by 15 mins.
It does feel like like addiction to reels/tiktok does have its toll. For that matter, due to Twitter exposure, I do have problems reading books.
When I probed ChatGPT a little, it tells me writing with a real pen and paper is now a super power as it lets you move slowly, pause, think etc.
Yes, exactly. So we offload mental tasks to AI, and avoid things that force us to concentrate for longer than 5 minutes. Cognitive decline is almost guaranteed.
She made a really good point: we're in the TikTok era.
After she said this, it made much more sense. The whole movie felt like "reels" stitched together, with no scene lasting longer than 5 minutes.
It makes me wonder if people today (especially younger people) would be able to watch a movie like the Godfather? I have doubts.
Honestly, I'm terrified of where we are heading as a species.
