MARCH 20 — Sometime last year, I was on the train when I saw a boy next to me watching the Korean zombie thriller-drama,What struck me is that he had set the speed of the show to be faster than normal .
As someone who’s been watching movies and TV shows for the better part of four decades, I was a little stunned by this revelation. In fact, I suspect that viewers like him would NOT enjoy the film or show as much if it was played at regular speed. With modernity comes a desire for rapidity; the TLDR mentality reigns supreme. Why should entertainment be substantially different, right?
The desire and demand to reach the end is too much and no director can compete with this yearning for shows which finish faster than intended .
