I stopped watching movies several years ago. one reason (which some say is it's own 'conspiracy') is that i found 98% of them to be just bad. not funny, creative, interesting, nothing.
i didn't like the way they made me feel too. what's with all the mood making? the highs the lows the laugh the cry. it's just too much. seems unhealthy.
and the action films make me sick mostly because all i can see as stuff is blowing up is money burning away billions of billions dollars we spend to entertain ourselves in this way when people around the world are starving.
but the main reason i don't watch is because of something a professor told me at university. he was some kinda brain science guy and he said that when you watch something on a screen, your brain reacts as if it were happening to you. watch someone get murdered on screen? your brain is reacting, chemicals pumping and connections flying, as if it were happening in front of you for real.
that's when i cut out watching anything scary or gross for sure. that just doesn't sound healthy. that was years ago.
recently thinking about mk ultra etc. got me thinking again about movies and other entertainment. if really intense trauma can make the brain split into multiples and become very suggestible, could mild trauma make one a little more suggestible? would some of our entertainment choices be actually traumatizing us into a mild mind control?
