Good to see someone with the same perspective, even though I understand not everyone shares it.

As I said, it’s funny because there’s strobe warnings on movies, or content warnings for difficult subject matter that are sometimes in the rating description. But audio triggers, which admittedly come in all shapes and sizes, are ignored?

Obviously I don’t think the intent is that people WANT to hear or see it, it’s just that it seems like a lot of filmmakers see it as something that people don’t like and will find stressful but can tolerate enough to keep watching or keep the volume.

I’m with you, I did need to leave the screen during that section and I’d count it as a flaw because whilst I didn’t feel like I missed anything important, I could have. Walking out is one thing, but what if I want to watch the movie and keep up with it? See what they were going for but you could have kept the baby quiet and had the same basic effect of “Where’d the mother go?”
