I can't imagine sitting down in a movie theatre for the purpose of entertainment. I guess I am traumatised by what I have gone through — the only way you could get me to participate is Clockwork Orange style coercion. I am immediately in "fight, flight, freeze" awaiting for the emotional manipulation and visual bombardment. The idea of relaxing and letting someone else mess around with my unconscious and emotions is unthinkable right now.
The fact that repetition can shape your subconscious mind is certainly no secret. This is why advertisers pay so much money to get their products in front of you again and again. They understand this. They know that if they bombard you with something, your brain will accept it as fact, as long as you don’t think too carefully about it. They know that they can program your subconscious mind, if only they can get enough exposure to it.
