Why are the movie durations around 90 minutes? The shortest movie in the world is only 2 seconds!

Going to the cinema to watch a movie is already a common entertainment method for everyone now, but have you discovered why most movies are controlled within 90 minutes, and even in order to compress the time, they even cut some hard work The lens. It is not unfounded that

movie duration is controlled at around 90 minutes. The first thing to consider in a movie is people's physical acceptance. Almost most people can sit down and listen to a

story and watch a movie in about an hour and a half. If you keep sitting for more than one and a half hours, most people's bodies will start to get tired and even sore all over, causing restlessness, which will greatly affect the viewing experience.

The plot quality and picture effects of many American dramas are comparable to those of a movie, but they still have to be cut into episodes for playback. Regardless of the filming and production cycle, the same is true when considering the impact of duration on the viewing experience.

is about 90 minutes long. The rhythm and plot transition of the story are almost perfect. Movies that are too short are not enough to fully explain the ins and outs of the story, the causes and consequences, and the development of events. Even if the director and editor can explain the above elements perfectly, there are still other shortcomings: Generally speaking, if a film is compressed to about 70 minutes, it will appear to change the rhythm very quickly, and you may even be looking for it. Between snacks, the development of the plot has been out of your timeline; even the inconsistency of the entire storyline has affected your evaluation of the movie because the switch of an important shot was ignored.

If a movie is too long, it will cause a lot of bad plots and shots in the movie. Things that can be explained clearly in a minute or two can take five or six minutes to explain. If the quality of the movie itself is average , The lengthy plot will turn the cinema into a lounge. People choose to watch movies naturally because movies allow us to understand a complete story in a relatively short time, otherwise it is better to go home and watch TV series.

However, there are naturally exceptions to everything. Movies that do not follow the routine are naturally gone. These movies have low production costs and short shooting times, or the director has absolute confidence in his own work, such as the following movies:

The earliest film in the world, "Landsea Garden Scene", was born in 1888. This film is now a gif animation, because its entire film length is only two seconds. It is a scene of a group of people doing some antics in the garden. And Louis Prince, the filmmaker of this film, as the person who succeeded in shooting the film before Edison, disappeared mysteriously on the way to apply for a patent, which is intriguing.

The British film "The Cocktail Party" released in 2017 is 71 minutes long. It is about the story of a few people cuckolding each other at a cocktail party (well, maybe I described it a bit exaggerated, I suggest watching it by myself). The shortest movie might be called short video.

There are even more super-long movies. The first one is the movies made by the Asan brothers. Among them, the more classic and famous is "Three Fools in Bollywood", which lasts 171 minutes.

"Wrestle, Dad" is 139 minutes long.

may be because it is necessary to save time for the "magnificent" dance scenes of the three buddies in the movie, and to give the male protagonists plenty of time for slow motion.

The length of American Marvel movies almost always starts at two hours, and there are even 174-minute long films such as "Reunion 4". The courage of nearly three hours of playing time naturally comes from the love of superheroes by loyal Marvel fans.

Of course, in addition to these long-term movies, I would like to recommend a few really long movies that test the ability to hold back urine. These movies are not only in the lead in terms of duration, but also have wonderful story content, which is very worthwhile. Watch:

"The Lord of the Rings 3: The King of the Rings" (Blu-ray extended version), duration: 263 minutes, nearly 4 and a half hours.

"Once Upon a Time in America" ​​(extended version of director's cut), 251 minutes in length.

"Gone with the Wind", 238 minutes long.

"Guling Street Juvenile S-person Incident", 237 minutes (domestic!)
