I think I'm getting more irritable with age.  |
Two sides of the same coin, I believe.
I would have been terribly irritated if folks had started applauding in the middle of the film but I was happy that many applauded at the end.
There was something transitional in watching this movie in 3D and I have been trying to understand for the last couple of days why that transition felt familiar. Like many in my age group I grew up watching TV in black and white I must have seen The Wizard of OZ four or five times prior to our getting a color TV. The impact of seeing the Technicolor OZ was massive and transitional. Much like the 3D and CGI performance motion of Avatar.
People who have only seen black and white perform a "willing suspension of disbelief", they know that the world is not black and white but their minds fill in the colors and they enjoyed the stories. So have we performed a willing suspension of disbelief, we know the world is not two dimensional but our minds have filled in the depth and we've enjoyed the stories. I am not sure that this film is of quite the caliber of The Wizard of OZ but the impact of the success of this film might well have much the same effect that TWO had on the film industry in 1937.
