The other day in class when dana was there you eluded to thinking that sound or audio ruined cinema somewhat and changed it from a form of art that didn't require the viewer to be literate. A person could just sit back and watch the film in front of them and absorbed it rather than be bogged down by also having to interrupt the sound. i would tent to agree for the most port. when watching a movie i can see whats happening. i can see the action. i can see people expressions and reactions to others. the way the angles are shot in can bring about an emotional response without having to use sound. last semester we had to watch wall-e and the only version i could find on youtube was in spanish. even without knowing Spanish and not to mention there is huge parts of the movie where the robots didn't speak. even with out those 2 things i was still able to grasp and interrupt the movie.
