I remember this from a while ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1193657

After I read that post it took something away from a lot of films for me, since it was hard to not notice. In this context, ignorance is bliss I say! I wish I could go back to not noticing.



I'm not totally opposed to the idea since there's an artistic goal behind it. Kinda like Instagram filters, which I admittedly used to oppose, but for Instagram's purpose, which isn't vying for National Geographic awards, they work well.


I see it as just another way of understanding a tool in a filmmakers box better. You can gain a deeper appreciation for a film by understanding how and why an element, be it sound, color, framing, or anything else, was chosen by the director and film crew.
