In a movie, the camera pans (and even zooms) for you. And in a play, the actors cannot jump from one scene to the other in a split second, while in the movies, they constantly show you what happens in 10 different places at once, and they zoom on each character's face, and on small details such as a lighter or a cigar, or they show fast moving scenes where you see everything in "first-person" mode, just as if YOU were the one running and fighting, when you are actually sitting completely still and staring at a screen. That's what is allegedly confusing to the brain.
Any psychologists or neurologists on this forum to enlighten us?
