If the movie was good, I honestly wouldn’t mind at all. Sure the realism/immersion is broken, but not all movies are striving for, or even care about that. Sometimes breaking the immersion is a cinematic choice in itself. With the case of The Last Duel, the purpose was not to paint a realistic portrait of France during the 1300s; the purpose was to tell a more universal, Rashomon styled story that resonated with the “me too” movement that was happening at the time.

I purposefully picked a popular movie to make my point. I am sure it is great, but the terrible cultural realism made it impossible for me to watch as a French person.

Imagine a movie taking place in the USA where actors are all french, speak french, and act as in a french movie. Wouldn't that ruin it for you? (assuming you are North American, but the logic works for other countries too)

Sleeping over at a friend's house we both fell asleep watching it and the DVD went back to the menu. If you aren't familiar with the menu music, it shifts between the soothing boop boop boops to the very loud titles music. It was very anxiety inducing for me and I couldn't turn it off as my mate was sleeping on the remote. Thank you for unlocking this memory.

I tend to fall asleep well to comedies, I will either pop on Rick and Morty which I’ve probably seen each episode 100 times, Airplane, Spaceballs, Robing Hood Men in Tights. Humor has always been my go to for soothing and to assist in turning my brain off, which is something I have a very difficult time doing on my own
