Modern media is too overstimulating

I was watching a video essay on the new film "Forgotten Island", and immediately I found the animation, the editing and cinematography of said film was just nothing but pure garish noise thrown into the face of the viewer, as if the makers of the film were so desperate to keep audience's attentions that felt they had to practically scream directly in their faces every five seconds, with constant jumpcuts and shouting. Then my mother showed me a reel for a recipe for stir fry chicken. Again, the editing style was constantly jumpcutting between each step before my brain even had time to process the instructions. it made my head physically hurt.

I feel like it's all to do with people being addicted to their phones these days that everything is edited in this... extremely distracting way, but I can't help but feel it's harmful. It certainly overstimulated me to the point where I needed to have a little bit of quiet time

  • Totally agree, especially after a long day.

    HOWEVER! I will say one of my absolutely favorite movies is Speed Racer (08), which is an absolute CGI fever dream from start to glorious finish. I think my draw to that film (besides Speed being depicted as a bit different from peers (COULD THEY BE SUGGESTING HE HAS ADHD HMMMM??)) is actually sensory seeking. Granted, even my favorite movie can overwhelm me lol

  • There's a bit diffrebcr Hough between flashy anime/live action anime adaptations and YouTube subscription bait

    Although I have to say things like one peicr I can't tolerate over long periods hence why I'll obly ever know the story from what I've played on video games
