How the way you watch movies affects your life

The way you watch movies can say a lot about the way you operate in the rest of your life. Use this knowledge as POWER or something idk

For the record, I’m not mewing...






or am I

It angers me when I’m watching a movie with somebody and they are on their phone

[VISPRES]

It’s also like reading. Sometimes I can read a whole page and not pay attention to what I’m reading. I have to force myself to pay attention.

I feel like this dude is mark zuckerberg if he was actually human

[wimbusbert]

I zoned out about 20 seconds in and then he said "Active engagement requires willpower." at 1:35 and then I suddenly snapped back in and restarted it lol

I can definitely watch a film without looking at my phone but with everything else, social media really has got us out here acting like crack addicts since it's ruined attention spans.

[DannehV]

Me: Actively engaged in the film
My parents: *on phone*
Me: still watching
My parents: wait, what’s happening? This film is so confusing.

I am #1 and my husband is #2 😂 we have strict rules around using your phone while watching so that I actively watch too 😅

[improvewithsoo-selfdevelop]

1) Take a survey of your day 3:20
2) Force yourself to physically and mentally relax during less important tasks 4:57
3)Be more intentional with how actively engaged you are with the work that requires your attention 6:30
4) Take care of your health 7:27

Amazing video! I have to be more intentional in my downtime 😌

Is this why after passively watching YouTube for 2 hours I feel like I wasted my time but after actively watching a movie for 2 hours I feel like I accomplished something? Anybody else?

[ravena]

Him: *talking about how you watch movies could ruin your life*
Me: *scrolling through comments*

[rumblingend]

I'm an active watcher. I'm sorry but if you sit at a 90° angle at your desk watching a movie you are a psychopath

[HeatherMantica]

I mean isn’t this two different ways everyone watches movies? I really need the sound of people talking in the background so I’ll throw stuff on while I’m tired or busy around the house but when it’s a movie I want to see I’m actively engaged. I don’t really know people who are only one way or the other.

[alejandrohernandez]

Im both an active and passive movie watcher, depending on the movie

[immortalized_onion]

"Force yourself to relax"


that sounds pretty confusing.

[failedsocialexperiment]

2:50 in Japan this exact issue is more extreme, there's even a named phenomenon in Japan for this that I don't recall the name of; it basically translates to "death by overworking".

[mehnottoday]

Sometimes I hate it when a passive movie watchers ask me for movie recommendations...

No matter how good the movie that i recommend, they just like "yeah that's ok" and i was like "dammmnnn just OK?.... Realllyy?.... Did u really watch it?.... Bro!?" 😑

[dunkdon]

I like how your videos aren’t about:

“This is how I live my life be more healthy like me.”

Your videos say

“I am a person who has these issues too and this is how I have been trying to better myself”

[tanm]

When you realize he was probably editing a video of him editing a video of him talking about editing.

[ramentaco]

I passively watch if I’m relaxing with a movie I’ve seen a million times, and I actively watch if it’s something I’ve never seen or only seen a few times
