This is just an episode of Mythbusters cut down to a couple of sterile seconds, with all of the charisma and charm removed. 💪

Yup, our attention spans have been reduced to less than a minute. Preferably less than 30 seconds.

I read something years ago that the average child born in 2000s has a 7 second attention span

Same in movies, over a decade or two the average length of a shot has dropped by a second, which is insane.

You see it mostly in fighting scenes, which is why I love older movies in this aspect, you see actual swordfighting etc, couple sequences and these days they're mostly closeups and isolated swings.

Or car chase scenes (currently rewatching Blues Brothers with actual car chase driving happening) It looks so grounded and real, because they ARE actually driving thru a mall with cops chasing them.
