Star Wars warning (dammit, Disney)
Dec. 21st, 2019 09:32 amI assume you've all seen by now that Disney warned photosensitive people about strobing in the new movie.
Eyewitness reports are coming in now. According to two separate witnesses I've seen, the last fifty minutes of the movie are strobing. One person with basilar migraines commented that if she'd known she would have had to look away from that much of the movie, she wouldn't have bothered going. Another person was warned by his doctor not to watch it until he could do it on a small screen in a well-lit room, and even then it would be chancy.
This is a deliberate stylistic choice, it's one with severe consequences for many people, and nobody said "Uh, are there other choices here?"
