I find it frees up the mind. A quick glance at subtitles then your mind is free to analyze other details of the scene. Soundtrack, lighting, mannerisms, costumes, background objects, etc..
I agree it's pretty bad for comedy though.
- mrguyorama 4y agoWhatever subset of ADD I have makes that impossible. I am physically compelled to pay attention to pretty much only the subtitles.
