Attention span and some films.


Films like this were made for the average attention span of the time.

Audiences of the past were much more capable.

Media speed is much greater today, we can become impatient with long dialogue and character development.

I fear that Tic-Toc is shorting attention spans even further for the next generation.

Having a Gen Z watch this film without their smartphone handy would be torture.
