Explaining the attraction of thousands of long films

See how science explains how people and houses are now crazy about long films like '8-year-old bride'.

The attraction of the long thousands of movies

In recent days, 'Eight-year-old bride' or ' My wife's police' has become a feverish phenomenon throughout social networks.

These are all TV dramas lasting hundreds, even thousands of episodes, but they create an effect that attracts a lot of viewers excitedly to watch.

What is the scientific truth behind these episodes? Is there a kind of magic spell that has been included in the movie content so that they cause such a big fever .

From the mechanism of 'taking the nose' of the audience of movies in general .

A fact that not everyone noticed that most of us when watching movies do not understand why I often have quite similar reactions to the characters on the screen.

For example, girls may cry out when watching Korean dramas, or guys who want to pretend to be superheroes to fight evil . These are all proofs for one thing, the current movies are one. Some way has hypnotized and controlled human behavior .

From a scientific point of view, experts at the University of Washington explain the phenomenon through the neuronal structure of the body. According to Professor Jeff Zacks, himself in the brain exists 'mirror' neurons.

These cells respond to the stimuli that the eye observes on the screen and motivates us to act similarly to the characters in the film.

This is like a fan kicking a ball , feeling disgruntled when a player has a foul or celebrating the goal of an idol team just like a player has scored on the field.

People have the nature of "imitating" the emotions that we see

On the other hand, most of the storylines that make up the film hit right on the 'ancestral' mentality deepened in each person's unconsciousness. Specifically, human ancestors lived in caves in the form of herds, the original commune had no paper or writing.

Therefore, the transmission of knowledge for the next generation cannot be done through books but by word of mouth. That was when the stories exaggerated, mythical, thrilling legends were born. These works are similar in nature to films when they often combine fictional details, imagining a part of life's truth.

It is for this reason that instinctively , people like to watch movies and often suffer from movies, even 'lead the nose'.

. to the hypotheses that make up the appeal of episodes

Going back to the story of the episodes, here you will wonder what compared to the less-than-episodes, which are the factors that make up a particular attraction for long-running movies. Here are some hypotheses given by scientists:

First , the episodes are attractive because the brain itself likes it. The reason for this is completely accurate, especially with long-form criminal films with complex, tricky storyline.

Complex, fast-paced, and cheeky situations are always attractive to the audience

Scientists explain, the actual brain loves to be stimulated and teased. One test showed that when sitting silently for 30 hours without doing anything, the brain produced hallucinations to satisfy its curiosity.

With a long film, the intricate details stimulate the activity and speculation of the brain. They force humans to store details into the hippocampus in the brain to try to solve the film's secrets. It is this that makes the brain 'happy' and leads to a tendency to persistently watch the long films with great interest.

Secondly , long films are attractive because of many breaks and advertisements . This is a trait that goes against many people's thinking because for a long time, we often get very upset when the movie is " long " and there are many interruptions mixed with advertising.

However, experts think differently. They point out, when watching a long film continuously, the human emotions for that movie decrease over time. Just like when kissing, the first kiss is always hard to forget, but do you know how your 1,000th kiss is?

That's why splitting movies into multiple episodes and intermingling with actual advertising reduces the amount of time people spend watching movies continuously. As a result, your brain is much more excited and excited when watching movies.

Third , the long-running drama is intrigued by the rumors surrounding. This is a feature that is most clearly demonstrated by the current movie ' Eight-year-old bride' .

Although the new film was shown more than 200 episodes in Vietnam, the information about the length of the film, some good details in the film . accidentally created a wave of public opinion.

From the perspective of psychology, the inevitable consequence is the appearance of the psychological crowd, provoking curiosity of those who have not seen. Therefore, after the end of the movie, the audience will grow exponentially.
